own a digital multimeter
A digital multimeter used to
mean an expensive, bulky piece of

equipment.
The Sinclair PDM35 changes
that. It's got all the functions and
features you want in a digital
multimeter, yet they're neatly
packaged in a rugged but light
pocket -size case, ready to go
anywhere.
The Sinclair PDM35 gives you
all the benefits of an ordinary digital
multimeter - quick clear readings,
high accuracy and resolution, high
input impedence. Yet at $49.95
it costs less than you'd expect to pay
for an analog meter!
The Sinclair PDM35 is tailor made for anyone who needs to make
rapid measurements. Development
engineers, field service engineers,
lab technicians, computer specialists,
radio and electronic hobbyists will
find it ideal.
With its rugged construction
and battery operation, the PDM35 is
perfectly suited for hand work in the
field, while its angled display and
optional AC power facility make it
just as useful on the bench.
What you get with a PDM35

M i i input
Compare it with an
analog meter!
The PDM 35's 1% of reading
compares with 3% of full scale for a
comparable analog meter. That
makes it around 5 times more
accurate on average.
The PDM35 will resolve 1 mV
against around 10 mV for a
comarable analog meter - and
resolution on current is over 1000
times greater.
The PDM35's DC input
impedance of 10 M i i is 50 times
higher than a 20 k i /volt analog
meter on the 10 V range.
The PDM35 gives precise
digital readings. So there's no need to
interpret ambiguous scales, no
parallax errors. There's no need to
reverse leads for negative readings.
There's no delicate meter movement
to damage. And you can resolve
current as low as 0.1 nA and measure
transistor and diode junctions over
5 decades of current.

looking ahead
Audio revolution: Audio recording appears to
be on the
brink of the biggest breakthrough since Edison first

preserved his words on a tin -foil cylinder. The
breakthrough is the introduction of, and the eventual
changeover to, digital recording. Theoretically, digital
recording systems should have no distortion, no wow or
flutter, practically infinite signal -to -noise ratio and a flat
frequency response from DC to the top of the audible
range.
The incredible thing about digital recording is that it's
almost here. Although it may take a decade to spread into
various consumer products, it should be available for
fairly widespread sound studio use this year. Mitsubishi
has already demonstrated a nine -track studio system and
3M has shown a 32 -track system, the former using
quarter -inch tape, the latter one -inch. Ampex has
developed a special blank tape for digital recording. For
advanced consumers who want to experiment with digital
audio recording, both Sony and Mitsubishi (and probably
others) will offer modifications for the Betamax and VHS
videotape recorders to convert them to pulse -code
modulation (PCM) digital audio recorders. Mitsubishi and
TEAC have demonstrated PCM disc systems, both
modifications of laser -scan optical videodisc devices.
Upcoming new developments, such as 3M's high coercivity Metafine tape and Hall -effect recording heads,
are expected to bring digital recording closer to
economical consumer use. When digital recording finally
becomes an everyday reality, you can expect major
efforts to develop a practical digital radio.
Latest on VTR: The videocassette recorder is now the

fastest -growing new home electronic product and,
naturally, new developments in that field are coming thick
and fast. One of the most significant developments, that
should help fuel consumer demand, is the rapid decline in
prices. Although Sony pioneered home videotape
recorders with the Betamax deck at a list price of $1,300
and most other manufacturers fell in line with the same
price, RCA broke the ranks by introducing its Matsushita built VHS machine at a suggested list price of $1,000
(Radio -Electronics, December 1977). Its competitors tried
to maintain the higher price, but their ranks were soon
broken by Zenith, which dropped its Beta system list price
to $995. Sony followed soon after with a nominal price of
$1,095 for its identical unit. Now virtually all home VTR's
are at the $1,000-or -lower price in the stores, regardless
of whether their suggested list is above or below that.
Several new manufacturers and marketers have joined
the fold recently, and here is how the home VTR lineup
stands at press time, arranged by standard, with
suggested list price where available:
Two -hour or one-and -two -hour Beta format: Sony
($1,095); Sanyo (unpriced); Sears Roebuck ($995); NEC
(due later in 1978); Toshiba ($1,095); Zenith ($995). Two and four -hour VHS format: Panasonic ($1,095); General
Electric (due this spring); Magnavox ($1,075 -$1,095);
Curtis Mathes ($2,900 and $4,000 in 25 -inch TV- stereo
combinations); Montgomery Ward (Panasonic brand at
$995); RCA ($1,000); Sylvania ($995). Two-hour VHS: JVC
(open list price); Hitachi (possibly by midyear); MGA (open
price). VX -2000: Quasar ($995). V -Cord II: Sanyo ($1,050).
VTR playing time: Price is only one battlefront in home

VTR. The other is record /play time. The first unit, Sony's
Betamax, could record or play up to one hour on a

cassette. The Japan Victor VHS had two -hour capability
per cassette. Then Sony came back with the Betamax
X2, which moved the tape at half speed and extended
the capacity of the former one -hour cassette to two
hours. Matsushita then adapted the VHS system to a
longer playing time, using the same method employed by
Sony -slowing down the tape movement to half speed
to produce a machine which could cram four hours'
programming on a single "two- hour" cassette. End of
Round One.
Round Two. Sony announced the development of a new
cassette that crammed more tape into the cassette by
using a thinner tape. This extended the recording -timeper-cassette of its X2 machine to three hours. In
addition, it outlined plans to introduce a cassette changer
that would permit unattended recording or playback of
two cassettes. Thus, with two three -hour cassettes, the
Betamax X2 can tape six hours of programming while
nobody is home. Then Japan Victor Co. (JVC) announced
that it would also have a three -hour cassette for its two hour VHS deck. However, the same cassette can be used
on the Matsushita -built half -speed VHS deck to increase
recording and playback time from four to six hours per
cassette.
The question now arises: Who would want to record a
six -hour block of programming on a single channel?
Obviously, at present the extension of playing time to six
hours is a good solution to a problem that doesn't exist.
This long -play capacity suggests the necessity of another
invention -the TV programmer -timer that will change
channels unattended at preset times, so an entire
evening's programming may be recorded unattended.
Several manufacturers are working on such devices using
microprocessors. You'll undoubtedly be hearing about
them soon.
FCC studies TVI: Some 55% of the cases of CB- related

television interference (TVI) in a recent FCC study was the
fault of the CB, the remainder was caused by the TV set

itself. Based on a study of 500 homes in six metropolitan
areas, the FCC forecast that complaints of TVI from CB
will climb to 105,000 in 1979 from the 197E total of
45,210, unless the problem is attacked by improving both
CB's and TV sets. The study concluded that inadequate
suppression of CB transmitter harmonics and spurious
radiation was the leading cause of such interference. The
Commission also found that better built -in signal rejection
for TV sets would eliminate at least one -third of the cases.
Linear amplifiers connected to the CB were associated
with 46% of all TVI cases, and in half of these the problem
disappeared completely when the amplifier was removed;
in the remaining cases it was substantially reduced. TV
Channels 2 and 5 were the most seriously affected,
followed by Channel 9. The Commission concluded that
interference problem will require coordinated action by
manufacturers and users of CB and TV sets and by the
FCC.

Pulse- modulation recorder uses
laser beam system
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, TEAC
Corporation and the Tokyo Denka Company have jointly developed the audio PCM
(Pulse Code Modulation) laser recorder
system that projects a tiny laser beam onto
a disc to record and reproduce high -fidelity
sound of great purity.
The PCM system converts audio input
signals into binary coded signals, modulates each signal into FM digital signals and
then records them by focusing the laser
beam onto the disc. During playback, four
servos direct the laser optics to read out
the PCM signals recorded on the disc.
Decoders then convert the PCM signals
-a
back to the original audio signal. A servo

motor keeps the turntable at a constant
1800 rpm. A focusing disc keeps the readout laser beam constant. A tracking servo
holds the laser beam steady over the spiral
line of pits on the disc, and a radial -feed
servo controls the laser optics in conjunction with the spiral line.
So far, a playing time of 30 minutes has
been achieved by using a polyvinyl chloride
disc. The companies involved, however,
expect to extend this to two hours per
disc.
Specifications for the new recorder include: negligible wow -and-flutter, a dynamic range of more than 98 dB, no crosstalk, a
frequency response of 10 Hz to 20 kHz
( +0.1, -0.5 dB), no distortion, no tracking
error, no rumble and no surface noise. In
addition, the disc is expected to last indefinitely because there is no contact between
the disc and the pickup system.
Some of the possibilities envisioned for
the PCM laser recorder: recording several
symphonies on one disc; using the system
in a juke box where dozens of songs can be
selected by the system's short access time;
or the possible multichanneling of music by
using separate tracks for each instrument.
PCM LASER RECORDER uses laser beams to record and produce

sound. Since the produced
sound is not a function either of amplitude or record-groove depth, the resulting
sound is of
exceptional purity.
Mini -radio station can be used for

disaster communications
A briefcase -sized radio station, developed by the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration, could be used to
speed disaster aid over long distances and
in remote areas that are impossible to
service via CB or police radio systems. The
small battery- operated system, whose signals are transmitted via satellite, would
receive on- the-scene medical advice and
relay vital information about disaster victims to physicians and hospitals provided
with individual radio stations.
Recently, NASA, White House and government agency officials participated in a
demonstration of the unit's capabilities.
Signals were transmitted from Washington,
DC, to the University of Maryland's Shock
Trauma Center in Baltimore. Transmission
was accomplished by beaming the signals
through a NASA ground station in North
Carolina to a satellite high above the Pacific Ocean.
Dr. R. Adams Cowley, director of the
Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical
Services, hopes that a more definitive test

can take place this Spring. Tentative plans
call for a simulated airline collision with a
fuel truck, with "burn victims" transferred
to burn centers in Virginia, Pittsburgh and
San Antonio, TX. Using the briefcase radio
station at each location, officials could talk
simultaneously with physicians at each facility to coordinate the evaluation.
Record -breaking attendance at New

York hi -fi show
This past November, more than 41,000
people paid a $3 admission fee to attend
the New York Hi -Fi Stereo Music Show held
at the Statler Hilton. M. Robert Rogers,
founder of the show (presented for the first
time in New York), claims that the only
other exhibit in the past ever to draw a
similar attendance did not charge admission.
Visitors to the show examined the latest
in hi -fi equipment, saw demonstrations and
received free gifts or samples from the
more than 80 exhibitors. Frosting on the
cake was provided by leading figures of the
entertainment world who both performed

and gave out autographs. Prominent disc
jockeys and radio personalities from local
FM radio stations were also on hand to
greet visitors.
Baltimore -Washington mobile

phone system gets FCC approval
Motorola has received permission from
the FCC to build its high- capacity cellular
radio -telephone system in the Baltimore Washington area. The system will provide
mobile telephone service to many new
business subscribers in overcongested urban areas by reusing the same channel
frequencies in different areas (or cells) of
each city.
While the cellular concept also attempts
to control transmission levels for a more
efficient use of the broadcast spectrum,
frequency reuse is the key word. The system works like this: each base station
signal can be heard by users within a specified area, or cell, that receives that signal.
Each cell within a cluster of cells is assigned its own specific set of frequencies
that cannot interfere with those of neighboring cells. (If cells are far apart, there is
no interference problem because it is possible to use the same frequencies simultaneously.) Reducing the power transmission
levels as well as the size of the cells allows
the same frequencies to be used more
frequently, thus enabling more subscribers
to use the mobile phone service.
Motorola's hand -held portable unit can
be incorporated into the company's present system, even though the present model is still somewhat too bulky. This portable
unit sends a signal to a single central "sector- receive" antenna (one to each geographic cell). The sector antenna receives
the signal and divides each hexagonal geographical area (cell) into six triangular regions, or wedges. The receivers then pass
the transmission from wedge to wedge as
the subscriber moves from area to area.
The sector antenna, which is also capable
of pulling in signals from as far away as 11
miles, is really the feature that enables
transmission and reception of the low power signals necessary for the system.
It is hoped that eventually the mobile
phones can be dashboard -mounted. While
the concept of low power plus small size is
still in the drawing board stage, Motorola
vice president Martin Cooper is confident
that "within two years, we'll be producing a
marketable product." It is predicted that
this smaller unit will sell for around $2000,
or $200 less than the company's present
mobile instrument.

discovered in the office telephone of Canadian Progressive Party leader Joseph
Clark, thus adding fuel to the allegations of
illegal bugging activities by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Canadian equivalent of the FBI. The electronics expert who
discovered the bug maintained that, even
with the phone off the hook, the device
would be able to monitor the opposition
party's strategy conversations.
Later, however, Bell Canada telephone
company technicians determined that the
bug was in actual fact a "top hat diode," a
standard part of every telephone having a
bulb to show that the line is busy. From Mr.
Clark's office: No comment.
Emergency alert system uses local

CATV installations
Areas lacking local TV outlets for emergency broadcasts can now use a new
system called C.E.A.S. (Civil Emergency
Alert S)/stem) that can be connected to
CATV installations. The system was developed by Cadco, Inc., manufacturers of
cable TV antennas and equipment.
C.E.A.S. (Civil Emergency Alert System)

enables officials to make direct emergency
announcements by interrupting all cable TV
channels in community. Shown is the complete
system, manufactured by CADCO, Inc.
The C.E.A.S. equipment is installed in a

central communications center (usually a
police station) and connected to the local
CATV system. The equipment blanks out
all CATV channels so that voice -only emergency announcements can be made.
Here's how it works: A red telephone
connected to a transmitter is tied, via
leased telephone line, to an automatic modulator at the CATV head end. An assigned
number is dialed, all TV screens in the area
blank out, and a "warble" alert sounds.
When the announcement is finished, the
phone is hung up and regular CATV programming resumes.
The system costs around $3000. This
amount can be partially defrayed by
matching funds available through the Federal Civil Defense Act of 1950. For further
information, write Phil Magers, CADCO,
Inc., 2706 National Circle, Garland, TX

Bootleg videotape recordings hit

all -time high
Bootleg prerecorded videocassette
tapes have become big business, report
continued fro m page
12
federal law enforcement agencies and film

industry executives. The upsurge in home
videotape recorders and the increased demand for prerecorded tapes have caused
an equivalent rise in pirated films, including
first -run shows like "Star Wars," classic
films, porno movies and network TV shows.
According to a West Coast FBI source, as
much as 99% of all seizures of pirated
material has been in video tape, as contrasted with last year's favorite -film
prints.
Prices are high. The average Y2 -inch
home videotape copies sell anywhere from
$50 to $200 and more (this for "Star Wars"
and the like). Some bootlegged videotape
masters go for as much as $10,000. Legitimate prerecorded videocassettes (which
generally include films three years or older)
can cost between $50 and $80.
Jim Bouras of the Motion Picture Association estimates that about 5% to 7% of all
industry profits last year were lost due to
piracy. And this doesn't take into account
the actual cost of the bootlegged products
themselves. Bouras added that there's no
way of knowing how much of the piracy was
in videotape form. However, he sees the
situation getting worse: "In the past year or
so, we've seen an increase in tape over
film, probably due to the ease in handling
the smaller cassettes, as well as more
outlets available as the home videotape
market begins to grow. Whatever the reason, there's no doubt about its escala-
tion."
Foundation aids in
communications-related litigation
Do you have an outdoor antenna on your
property? The chances are good you may
be in violation of local zoning ordinances,
and subject to a suit. Are you a CB'er or
ham operator? If your transmitter interferes with your neighbor's TV or radio,
again you may find yourself facing a suit.
Litigation of this sort seems to be proliferating countrywide; however, most lawyers
are unfamiliar with the technical aspects of
radio, FCC regulations or prior communications cases.
To help remedy the situation, the Personal Communications Foundation was established in November, 1976. It provides
attorneys with an extensive law library and
research material, including court decisions, briefs and legal memoranda. Copies
of such documents are available at cost not
only to the legal profession but to hams,
CB'ers, the communications industry and
governmental agencies.
The Foundation is a membership -based
organization, with four different classes of
membership available. Members receive a
quarterly newsletter that summarizes current legal developments and analyzes existing case law and statutes. For further
information, write Personal Communications Foundation, 10960 Wilshire Blvd.,

Suite 1504, Los Angeles, CA 90024, or

Latest TV developments -Teletext

decoder and CTV receiver
Barco Electronic of Belgium (creators of
the second- channel TV monitoring system
described in the January 1978 issue of
Radio-Electronics) have added two other
new capabilities to their TV sets -the Teletext decoder and the "Seagull" CTV receiver.

ACTUAL DISPLAY of new teletext system. System will provide TV audience with news bulletins on command.
The Teletex decoder's unique function is

to store news data transmitted during a
regular TV program, which can then be
read out as a Telex message on the screen.
You can program the multi- standard Teletext to retain any specific type of news
general, sports, weather reports -which
can then be played back on command.
Another special feature of the decoder is
that you can also use it to translate foreign film subtitles!
The "Seagull" CTV receiver (originally
designed for maritime use) is compatible
with 7 color and 10 transmission systems; it
can therefore be used worldwide. Pushbuttons control the color and transmission
systems, and the decoder's modular design makes it easy to repair and maintain.
Radio pioneer passes away

D. D. Lakhanpal, whose name was synonymous with radio in India, died on October 1, 1977.
Mr. Lakhanpal, who was born in 1904,
was considered one of the pioneers of the
industry in his native country. During his 45
years in the business, he was responsible
for spreading radio throughout India. He
was also editor and publisher of the Radio
Times of India (founded in 1946).
Mr. Lakhanpal was director of several
trade associations, among them Lakhanpal
National, Ltd., a joint venture company
associated with Matsushita Electrical Industrial Company, Ltd.

FRED BLECHMAN
MAGNETIC MACHINE
I
view the magnetic machine ( "Letters"
Column, Radio -Electronics, October,

1977) with alarm. If the lines of flux are cut
off by the screen, the plasma field will have
less space in which to exist. This reduced
space means an increase in flux density
and will result in an unbalanced field. As a
result of simple gravity, the field will try to
flip, due to the magnetic mass being

spread out and, therefore, top heavy.
Furthermore, the intrinsic coercive force
(Hc) will seek release of its energy, resulting
in the iron block traveling at right angles to
the rapidly expanding magnetic field (remember -any ferrous material will have a
residual field in the presence of another
field -Br). The object will first travel in a
straight line until the Br of the iron and the
Bs (saturation) of the field of distance
cancel (inverse of distance cubed). Then,
the object will travel at a fixed tangent (0 )
to the lines of force. This change of direction may alter the hysteresis loop into its
first derivative. And what happens then is
terrifying to consider!
Meanwhile our object is traveling at the
speed of light at right angles to the expanding field. This assumes a DC field; an AC
field will cause the object to go first one
way, then the other. The difference in vertical and horizontal paths will first be at right
angles to the field. The angle forms when
Br = Bs and to some far point; then the
field will begin to reverse, pulling the object
straight back until the field reverses again.

The resulting trajectory will then hit the
ground and be pulled back and start over.
What Mr. Fraser has done is to develop a
magnetic slingshot with the energy "borrowed" from one field and "repaid" on the
return pass. Thus, the law of conservation
of energy is maintained.

2650 KEYBOARD
Jeff Roloff's reply to a reader's question in the September 1977 issue of Radio Electronics, he stated that the Radio Shack keyboard works well in the 2650
computer system. This is not entirely correct. This keyboard is not standard ASCII,
and the key functions may need to be redefined for this system.
Specifically, the PROM's recognize a 1B
code for the escape function, whereas the
Radio -Shack keyboard generates a 7E.
Code 1B is not generated anywhere on this
keyboard. A major modification would be

Another problem with this keyboard is in
the control key. Instead of modifying the
normal key code, this key generates a code
by itself, causing problems in the editor/
assembler tape. The control C code is
generated with a shift C, but using HERE IS
takes only one keystroke. Control P is not
available, so RAM locations 2348 and 28FA
should be changed from 10 to 02, and SHIFT
R can be used for this function. For control
O, use shift O. Change location 28EC from
15 to 05, and use shift U for control U.
Carriage return is generated by shift ], but it
is better to use LINEFEED to get this into a
single keystroke. For this, change the following locations from OD to OA: 2245, 2289,
22EA, 2359, 2364, 23A5, 2695, 284D,
28A5, 2921, 296C, 2D82.
One last change in the keyboard is to
add a 1000 -ohm resistor from pin 5 of Z11
to Vcc. This eliminates a floating input that
may cause continuous REPEAT functions.
These may seem like a lot of changes,
but the Radio-Shack keyboard is still the
only easily available, inexpensive keyboard
sold with a guarantee.

Regarding the use of the Radio -Shack

keyboard with my board, it would certainly
appear there are many problems. I had not
tried it myself -several customers just said
it had worked fine with their boards.
I recommend (contrary to Mike Herbach's opinion) that people not use this
type of keyboard unless they want to keep
modifying all the Central Data programs
which will not be offered in Radio -Shack
form. I regret ever mentioning the Radio Shack keyboard; I should have tried it
myself first-Jeff Roloff

can lift its 1 -lb keeper (made of soft steel)
from over 3 inches away. Third, if instead of
allowing the keeper to hit the permanent
magnet, some springs were mounted, the
keeper could put 599 lbs of tension in the
springs to take the place of a sharp impact
and a heat loss. Fourth, with the keeper in
place, the permanent magnet will not lift
even 1 lb of steel, let alone 598 lbs.
According to Mr. Scharf and the law of
conservation of energy, his permanent
magnet cannot do the four things mine can.
My permanent magnet has been used and
banged around a lot, but it is still intact and
strong as ever.

Olympic Controls, Inc.,
Model OCi-009 Calibrator
OLYMPIC CONTROLS, INC. OF 11246 SOUTH

Post Oak Road, Houston, TX 77035 is manufacturing a new low -cost universal calibrator,
the model OCi -009.
This instrument is primarily designed for
testing and calibrating all kinds of electrical

control systems that are used in industrial
control and metering work. It can test transmitters, valves, transducers, sensors and all
kinds of similar equipment.
The basic model OCi -009 -Al provides highly accurate test signals in the milliampere, volt
and millivolt range, showing the actual value
on a 3'/2-digit readout.
The calibrator has dual ranges. The low
range is from +1.999 VDC to -1.999 VDC;
from +0.199.99 to -0.199.99 mV DC and
from 0 to 0.19.99 mA DC. The high -range
outputs are 10.50 VDC, 100.00 mV DC,
and from 0 to 60 mA DC. A selector switch
controls the high or low output ranges and the
meter readout.
There are two variable controls -the
COARSE control is a one -turn potentiometer,
with zero in the center. Turning the control
clockwise from zero increases the output
toward positive. Turning the control counterclockwise makes the output go negative. The
FINE control is a ten -turn potentiometer; turning it clockwise increases the output. All

Counts...
Count on Ungar Heat Guns

The compact Ungar Heat Gun provides the accuracy that you need to
heat shrinkable tubing in confined areas, to test for thermal intermittents
in components, to soften conformal coating for repair and to reflow
individual solder connections. A flick of the three -position switch provides a quiet stream of 750 F hot air for heating or ambient air for
cooling. Its light weight of only 13 ounces makes it a breeze to use or to
carry from job to job, yet it has the capacity to shrink tubing up to 1/2"
in diameter.
See the versatile Ungar Heat Gun at your local Authorized Ungar Distributor, or call or write us for more information.

outputs are instantly displayed on the readout.

The outputs are available on the front panel.
There are also two jacks labeled IN. By flipping the selector switch from our to IN, the
readout displays whatever signal is being fed
in. A range switch selects between milliamperes, volts and millivolts. The model OCi -009
can read its own output. You can also use it to
check such devices as millivolts -to- current
converters, by feeding the normal input to the
device and then measuring the output on the
OCi-009's meter.
The model OCi-009 -A2 option provides a
signal frequency of up to 1.999 kHz. This
feature generates test signals in this range, and
you can also measure frequencies in this range
by feeding it to the IN jacks. This feature can
be used to check voltage -to- frequency converters: You can feed a voltage to the converter
input and measure the output frequency. The

same procedure works in reverse for frequency-to- voltage converters.

instrument to check the accuracy of some of

my FETVOM's and VOM's. One of the
meters did need just a little tweaking, but, to
my surprise, one of the oldest instruments in
the shop was right on the button!
The model OCi-009 should be a valuable
instrument for anyone engaged in this line of
work. It can test both ends of a control system:
the generator or transducer, as well as the
device controlled by it. You can use the
frequency option to test turbine generators and
similar units.
The basic instrument is AC- powered, but it
continued !rom page 24

Many typical applications for such units are
shown in the instruction manual, along with
exact hookups and control settings. The instrument is handy for industrial process- control
applications. You can use its output to simulate two-wire transmitters, check the operation
of 4 -20 -mA throttling valves, and many other
things.
The accuracy of the model OCi-009 is
0.1% of full range, I count. A detailed
calibration report is included with each instrument, showing the exact readings on every
function.
While 1 didn't have much industrial control
equipment lying about my shop, I did use the

portable or field work. It can also be used with
any 12 -volt battery. The suggested retail price
of the model OCi- 009-Al is $435. The model

mobile CB tester could be called a "lap" tester.
These are compact instruments that can be
held on your lap in any vehicle, and will test
every one of the important characteristics of
the CB rig. It'll do this in an amazingly short
time. This makes it very handy for initial diagnosis of any CB problem, without having to
take the radio out of the vehicle. There are
only three cables to hook up. One goes to the
antenna input on the CB rig, the other to the
CB antenna and the last plugs into the cigar
lighter on the dash. There isn't even a switch;

plug it in and you're ready.

The model 422 will read frequency, RF
power output, SWR and audio modulation on
all 40 channels. It will also check the mike and
the modulation percentage. There is a receiver
test on Channel 20 that is also used to check
the squelch action. It will even read the battery
voltage in the vehicle, which can be very
helpful in finding problems in the voltage
regulator, battery, etc. There is also a confidence test: pushing the SELF-TEST button gives
you a readout of the frequency of Channel 20,
so that you know everything is working.
All of these tests can be made in sequence,
simply by setting the front-panel controls and
pressing the mike button. There are 5 pushbuttons, momentary contact except for one and a
three-position lever switch. An internal dummy load is used for most tests. The load is
controlled by a pushbutton switch that reconnects the CB transmitter output to the vehicle
antenna for RF power and SWR testing.
There are eight separate tests. These are all
numbered on the control panel. A very complete list of the test is printed on the inside of
the lid; all control settings, instructions and
normal readings are given. In a separate place
across the bottom of the lid is a complete list of
frequencies for all 40 CB channels, with high
and low tolerances. If the transmitter frequency is between the high and low tolerances
shown, it's OK. There is a speaker on the front
panel, for use in the modulation tests. The
heart of the instrument is a frequency counter
with an accuracy of 10 ppm and a 6 -digit 7segment LED readout. All of the test readings
are shown on this readout, including the
battery voltage, which should be between 11.0

and 15.7 volts. (Only the last 4 digits are lit.)
RF power and SWR are displayed using only
the digits needed. The control panel is well laid
out to speed up operation. The switches are
spaced far enough apart so that you hit only
the one you want. The panel is black, with
silver lettering big enough to read.
The antenna selector switch is real cute. It
has an automatic no -power indicator that
displays INT in red lettering on a black background when the switch is in the out position.
Push the antenna selector once and the black
background changes to red, the red letters
disappear and it now says EXT in black!
The RF frequency tests, RF power and
SWR tests are all standard. Just push the mike
button and the results are displayed on the
readout. In the receiver -test position, the model 422 radiates an RF signal, on Channel 20,
into the CB rig's antenna input. This is about
20 microvolts, modulated 15% by a 1000-Hz
sinewave. You can check the speaker condition
by listening. You can also check the squelch
for proper operation; it should shut off at some
point.
In the modulation test you can check the
modulation of the transmitter and the mike at
the same time. You can hear your own voice in
the panel speaker; the model 422 has a built -in
detector that demodulates the RF carrier from
the CB rig. You can also check the modulation
capability of the CB rig. If you key the mike
and hold it within three inches of the panel
speaker, you should hear a feedback howl. If it
doesn't, the mike may have a low output or the
transmitter may not be modulating enough.

Hickok's flyer on the model 422 says that it
will give you a complete end -to -end test of any
CB right in the vehicle in 5 minutes. This is the
only statement in there that I can't agree with.
I made a test on my daughter's CB and it
didn't seem to me that it took that much time,
even the first time I used it. So, I went back
and did it over again, timing it this time. From
the time I got the model 422 hooked up, the
full test sequence took up exactly I minute and
5 seconds! This could be beaten, I think; I
forgot to check the squelch and had to go back
and do that.
So, an instrument like this can certainly
speed up in- the-car CB radio testing and
preliminary diagnosis. It will pin down trouble
to the correct section of the transceiver. Due to
the simplified layout of the panel and the very
detailed instruction always at hand, even unskilled personnel could be used for this. It
would also be handy for making assurance
tests after a CB installation has been completed, as well as adjusting SWR, antennas,
etc. It's a compact little precision instrument,
and designed to make the work a lot easier.
The model 421 sells for $325 and can be used
for bench work with the bench DC power
supply.

GC Electronics Liqui -Kleen
Silicone Contact Cleaner

THINGS HAVE A HABIT OF COMING IN JUST
when I need them. My TV was displaying defi-
nite signs of needing a cleanup of socket

contacts, controls and the tuner. Of course, I
could never remember to bring some cleaner

home with me. So, I was happy when I
received a sample of GC Electronic's new
Liqui -Kleen silicone contact cleaner.
I tried it and it worked. (Also very good for
washing dirt off I6 -year old chassis!) It's
packed in a breakproof plastic bottle, which is
a good thing since the first thing I did was drop
it. This is not an aerosol spray; it uses a
powerful pump on the top of the bottle. I say
powerful; all you have to do is touch it to get a
good big squirt. It has a regular spray nozzle
that can be adjusted for anything from a very
fine spray to a thin squirt. A 5 -inch plastic
extension tube is included for cleaning tuners,

etc. Most of us will be using the extension
tube. You can get into tight places (like my
tuner) without any danger of shock.
The cleaner is a compound called 1,1,1
trichloroethane, and is nonflammable. It will
not harm plastics. When it evaporates, it leaves
a thin film of silicone lubricant on contacts for
protection against dirt and corrosion. Since no

The 6800/2 uses our new A2 processor board with socket

space for 8K bytes of ROM /PROM. This makes it possible
to use the 6800 in applications where ROM programs are
useful without purchasing an expensive PROM accessory
board. The A2 board has a DIP switch selector that allows
you to replace any 8K block of memory above the RAM
memory that extends to 32K with memory external to the
processor board itself. This lets you develop special programs that will later be put in PROM in a normal RAM
memory card where it can be modified and debugged. The
A2 board has a crystal controlled baud rate oscillator and a
separate clock driver oscillator whose frequency may be
with

THE TRIPLETT CORPORATION, BLUFFTON, OH
45817, has just introduced a new 3'/2 -digit
hand -sized DVOM, their model 3300, which

sells for $175. This instrument reads DC and
AC voltages from a low scale of 0 -200 mV up
to 600 VDC. It has an input impedance of 10.0
megohms when measuring AC and DC voltages. Resistance is read in six ranges, 0 -200
ohms up to 0-20 megohms. Alternating and
direct current can be read in three ranges from
0-2 mA up to 200 mA -22 ranges in all.
Polarity indication is automatic and the
meter has automatic zeroing although this can
be adjusted if necessary. All ranges are protected against overloads up to 600 volts, even
on the lowest ohms range. On the lowest
voltage range, the meter can read down to 1.0
mV.

VOM's was AC rejection on DC voltage

scales. The model 3300 shows a CMRR (Cornmon -Mode Rejection Ratio) of -90 dB at 60
Hz. (I checked: On AC volts, I read the 120 volt line. When I tried the same thing set on
DC volts, the meter read zero!)
The battery -powered model 3300 uses four
1.5 -volt NiCad AA batteries, and a plug -in
charger is supplied. Battery life, left on continuously, is from 6 to 8 hours. To check the
battery charge, just set the meter to the 20 -volt
DC scale and touch the red probe to a jack on
the test -lead plug. A reading of about 4.4 volts
shows that the batteries should be recharged.

An ideal gift for a young rider or an active

bicyclist, this speedometer conserves battery power
through the use of a motion sensor circuit.
ROBERT N. BEABER
BICYCLE RIDING HAS GAINED POPULARITY
in recent years as a fun way to stay trim
and healthy. This digital bicycle speedometer adds to that fun as well as providing an accurate indication of speed. It
would make an ideal gift for that young
boy in your life. Or, if you're not already
an active bicyclist, you should become
one. The digital bicycle speedometer uses
rechargeable (NiCad) batteries and is
designed to conserve power by using 12
discrete LED's as the speed indicators
instead of two 7- segment LED's.
The drawings and photographs show
the front panel of the speedometer. During normal operation with speeds up to 9
mph, only one LED is on at any given
time. At a speed of 10 mph, both the
"10" and "0" LED's are on. The "10"
LED remains on and LED's "0" through
"9" are on individually in the speed range
of 10 to 19 mph. At 20 mph, LED's "20"
and "0" are on. Above 20 mph, the rider
sees LED "20" and one of the intermediate unit LED's. At 30 mph, LED's
"10," "20" and "0" are on, and the
counting sequence continues until the
maximum of 30 mph is reached. The
speedometer and speed sensing circuitry
are controlled by the wheel switch. This
switch consists of a magnetic reed switch
on the bike frame and two magnets
cemented to the wheel. This switch is S3
in the speedometer schematic in Fig. 1.
The wheel switch closes twice during
each wheel revolution, and bicycle speed
is indicated by the number of switch
closures counted over a fixed period of
time. To establish the number of switch
closures per fixed period related to speed
in miles per hour, we first determine the
number of one -half revolutions the wheel
DIGITAL BIKE SPEEDOMETER along with its plug -in battery -type power supply. PVC tubing houses
the battery made by series -connecting five NiCad rechargeable cells.
makes per mile. For a 27 -inch wheel, this

is 1493.98 revolutions. At mph, there is
one switch closure (or one -half revolution) every 2.409 seconds. A count of 5 in
2.409 seconds equals 5 mph.
A calibration oscillator controls the
fixed time interval during which wheel switch closures are counted. The circuit is
designed so that when the oscillator is
adjusted correctly, closing the TEST
switch causes the display to show the
wheel size. For instance, the display
should read "27" for a 27 -inch wheel.
The calibration -oscillator repetition rate
is approximately 11.25 pps. This frequency was selected because it provides a
simple standard for adjusting the time
period to accommodate any wheel size
without a calibration table or chart.

Circuit operation
The speedometer circuit (Fig. I) con-
sists of two 74C90 decade counters; a

74LS174 that contains six positive -edge
triggered flip -flops operated as a 6 -bit
latch; a 7445 decimal decoder; and circuitry to strobe the latch, reset the counters and turn off the power when the
wheel stops turning. Input pulses from
wheel switch S3 enter at J2 and are
applied to one-half of IC7, a 556 dual
timer. IC7 is operated as dual one -shot
multivibrators in series. The first multivibrator is a debounce circuit that conditions the wheel- switch pulses so that only
one pulse is obtained each time a magnet
causes the switch to close. It also triggers
the second one -shot. The second circuit
remains triggered as long as switch S3 is
active-that is, opening and closing.
When the bike stops and switch S3 no
longer opens and closes, the second one shot times -out after about 3 seconds and
reverts to its stable state.

TEST
FIG. 1- BICYCLE SPEEDOMETER SCHEMATIC. Twelve miniature LED's instead of the

displays are used as the readout to minimize power drain and conserve battery life.
The output of the first one -shot, pin 5

of IC7, is inverted by IC5 -a to provide
the correct logical output to the first
decade counter (ICI). The output of the
second one -shot, pin 9 of IC7, is inverted
by transistor Q1 and used to turn on Q2.
Transistor Q2 is a solid -state switch that
provides power to all speedometer circuitry except for IC7 and transistor Q1.
Power to IC7 and Q1 is turned on and off
by switch S2.
When S2 is closed, the first pulse from
wheel switch S3 turns on Q2 and supplies
power to the counter circuitry. Succeeding pulses are then counted by IC and
fed to 6 -bit latch IC3. The latch provides
a constant output to the decoder for
display during the fixed time interval.
The latch is strobed at the end of the time
period just prior to resetting the decade
counters to zero.
The latch strobe and counter reset is
provided by IC6. This dual timer IC is
connected as two separate oscillators.
One oscillator is slow and adjustable,
delivering one pulse approximately every
2.5 seconds. The other operates at a fixed
frequency and delivers 11.2 pulses per
second.
The slow adjustable oscillator provides

the fixed time interval for counting the

pulses from S3. This output signal is from
pin 5 and is inverted by IC5 -f and used to
strobe the latch line to pin 9 of IC3. This
same signal goes through inverters IC5 -e
and IC5 -d and is used to reset the counters. The double inversion provides an
ample time delay between the strobe and
reset so the output of the latch has settled
before the inputs from the counter are
reset to zero. If the time delay were not
there, the latch output would reflect its
input-which would be zero when the

counter is reset to zero.
The fixed -frequency oscillator output
signal is from pin 9 of IC6. It is inverted
by transistor Q5 and sent through the test
switch to input jack J2. The product of
the number of pulses-per- second from
this oscillator and the fixed time period
yields a number that corresponds to the
wheel size.
Decimal counter IC4 accepts the BCD
output from the first 4 bits from IC3 to

An electronic musical instrument accessory with a difference.

Novel programming capabilities give you unusual time signatures
along with bridges and introductions.
THE PROGRAMMABLE DRUM UNIT DEscribed in this article is used as an add-on
to your hi -fi system. It produces percussive sounds that simulate a bass, tom,
conga, snare, clave and a wood block.
Also, the pattern and rhythm can be
stored in memory and played back. But
what makes this unit different from other
programmable percussion synthesizers?
In the past, percussion units have had
three major failings:

1. They do the same thing again and
again.
2. They do the same thing again and
again.
3. They have no provision for unusual time signatures.
If you wonder why paragraphs and
are the same, here's an explanation:
1
First, except for choosing very generalized and idealized "classic" rhythm patterns, you have no control over the percussion score that is generated. Every
time you punch up a tango pattern it will
be just like the last tango pattern. Programmability is the obvious key here so
that you can produce as many different
tango patterns as you wish.
Second, the same pattern repeats, at
best, every couple of measures. In real
music there are introductions and
bridges, etc. This unit takes care of that
by providing a BRIDGE key. When this
control is activated, instead of repeating
the same pattern again, the unit switches
to a separate pattern and repeats it as long
JOHN S. SIMONTON, JR.
the BRIDGE key is activated. When this

key is released, the unit shifts back to the
first pattern and begins playing it again.
The shifting from one pattern to another
happens automatically at the repeat
points (the end of the pattern), but it can
be "forced" to happen anytime.
Every rhythm unit plays 27, time and'/.
time with no problems. Some can also
play 3/4 time or 6/E time. But none has a
as
provision for even V. time, which is a

pretty common time signature. This new
unit can be programmed for any conceivable pattern, no matter how unusual the
time signature.
All the control squares on the front
panel are nonmechanical touch switches.
Even the slightest touch of the finger
activates them.
Drum oscillators
Figure I shows a schematic drawing of
the five drum oscillators, the voiced noise
source and buffer amplifier. All eight
current differencing amplifier stages used

in this circuitry are contained in two quad
amplifiers, ICI and 1C2.
All drum oscillators are parallel -T filter sections, typified by the Wood Block
oscillator built up around ICI -a. The
parallel -T filter section, consisting of R3,
R4, R5, Cl, C2 and C3, has a band- reject
notch characteristic which, when placed

in the negative feedback loop of the
amplifier, produces a bandpass filter. Activating pulses from the memory are coupled to the oscillator (filter) by C4 and
R8.
The sustain characteristic of the sound
produced (or how long the sound persists) is a function of the gain of the entire
section. In the case of the Wood Block
oscillator, the gain is set by the secondary
feedback loop through C5, R6 and R7.
Trimmer resistor R7 sets the amount of
signal that is fed back through this loop
and, consequently, the sustain characteristic of the entire stage.
The remaining Clave, Tom, Conga and
Bass oscillators are built around ICI -b,
ICI -c, ICI -d and IC2 -c, respectively.
These operate in the same manner with
different component values (or sustain
control settings) to produce different
drum sounds. All the drum oscillators
share a common bias source consisting of
Rl, R2 and bypass capacitor C57.
The snare sound is generated by the
noise voicing circuit comprising IC2 -b,
IC2 -a and associated circuitry. Noise is
produced by the avalanching reverse biased base- emitter junction of transistor
QI and coupled to gating amplifier IC2 -b
by R44 and C26. When not activated, the
output of IC2 -b is held at the upper
supply voltage by the current flow into
the noninverting input of IC2 -b through
R47, R48 and R50. Under these saturated conditions, no signal can pass
through the amplifier. A negative -going
pulse applied to R49 activates the Snare
output by causing C29 to discharge
slightly. This results in a decreased current flow through R50 into the amplifier's noninverting input and allows the
amplifier to come out of saturation.
When the activating pulse ends, C29
slowly charges through R47 and R48
until the amplifier returns to a saturated
condition. The noise signal is coupled to
the filter section consisting of IC2 -a and
associated components where the low frequency components are attenuated to
simulate the snare sound.
The signals from all the drum oscillators and noise source are summed together by resistors R9, R 17, R25, R41 and
R53 and applied to the input of the
buffering amplifier IC2 -d. The buffer amplifier output is the output of the
drum unit.
The power supply is shown in Fig. 2.
The 6 -volt supply is decoupled from the
digital portion of the circuitry by R126
and C56 and applied to the drum oscillator circuits ICI and IC2. Power to all of
the logic, with the exception of the
memories, passes through D40, which
provides a 0.7 -volt drop, leaving slightly
over 5 volts to power the logic. Similarly,
power to memories ICI4 and IC15 passes
through D41, leaving slightly over 5 volts
to power these IC's. Closing the SAVE
switch allows a reduced keep -alive voltage to be applied to the memory IC's by
way of diodes D42 D47, while turning
off power to the remainder of the circuit-

Touch switches
The bulk of the touch -switch circuitry
switch drivers, IC4, IC5, IC6, IC7, IC8

and IC9.
For example, when the SNARE switch is
not activated, the squarewave signal from
1C3-c is applied to the two inputs of gate
IC8 -a, which serves as an invertr. The
resulting squarewave signal at the output
of IC8 -a charges C44 through D19. With
this capacitor charged to the supply voltage, the output of inverter IC8 -b is at a
logic -low level -essentially ground- and
the switch can be considered off.
Placing a finger on the SNARE touch
pad at pin 6 of IC8 has the effect of
placing a capacitor of. several picofarads
from this pin to ground. During the logichigh half -cycles of the squarewave clock,
this capacitance is through D18, but during low half-cycles, the only discharge
path for the capacitor is through R86.
The net result is a charge build -up on

IC8 -a pin 6 that holds this pin at a logic high level and, consequently, the output
(pin 4) at a low level. With D19 now
reverse -biased, C44 discharges through
R87. The output of IC8 -b then switches
to a logic -high level. Removing your
finger allows the output of IC8 -a to once
again switch at the clock rate, allowing
C44 to charge and the IC 8 -b output to
42
once again switch low.

The remaining stage of IC3 along with
R69 and C35 forms a debounce circuit
that momentarily turns off the clock buffer when a switch is released.

either a drum sound or a signal to reset

the rest of the circuitry to the beginning
of the pattern. A logic I stored in memory causes the corresponding drum to
sound, and, if a logic 0 is written in a
given memory location, then that location
represents a rest.
Six address bits are supplied to the
memory by counter IC12. The remaining
two address bits are select lines that select
one of four pages of memory. The first of
these page -select lines originates at
switch S4, while the second originates at

bridge -select flip -flop IC13.
When the RESET pad is touched, several
things happen simultaneously. The read/
write (R /W) memory line goes high and
the memory is in the read state. The
address counter IC 12 is also reset to
address 000000. Flip-flop IC13 -a is reset
so that its Q output goes high keeping the
tempo clock from running. Finally, a
clocking pulse is applied to flip -flop
IC 13 -b so that the current state of the
BRIDGE- SELECT touch pad appears at the
Q output of lC3 -b.
Touching the PLAY pad causes the Q
output of IC13 -a to go low, which causes
the tempo clock (ICIO -a and ICIO -b) to
begin generating squarewaves at a rate set
by TEMPO control R130. This clock signal
is coupled by D38 to the input of inverter /buffer ICI0 -c, and in turn to address
counter 1C12, making it advance by one
count for each cycle of the clocking waveform. Simultaneously, differentiating
network R119, R120 and C52, buffered
and inverted by IC10 -d, produces a short
pulse that activates the CE input pins of
the memories. When taken to a logic -low
level, these CE pins cause the data stored

If the data stored is for a drum sound,
one of the transistors Q2 Q8 is turned
on, providing an activating pulse to the
drum oscillators. If the data stored is a
repeat, this data (a logic 0) is applied to

the collector of Ql 2 (which will be cutoff
under these conditions) and through
R I 2 7 to one of the IC -c inputs, causing

CHESTER H. LAWRENCE
IF A HOBBY COMPUTER HAS A HEART, IT MUST BE
the main -frame. And when we started to assemble

this story we were going to cover only main-frames.
But once we got started we found that if we followed
our original premise we would have to omit many
popular and interesting machines and accessories.
Therefore, we have taken some liberties and stretched
the definition to include other devices and systems.
What we have ended up with is a directory of hobby
computer manufacturers and a condensed listing of
items each one makes.
Wherever possible we have included model numbers
and prices. In all instances we have provided the
manufacturer's address. Write him for more
information and when you do, tell him you read
about his product in Radio -Electronics.

Videotape
Recorders For
After numerous false starts, design engineers have developed home VTr?'s
that are viable and promising. Here's a review of what's on the market.
FRED PETRAS
IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED,
1978 IS ON
its way to being the year for HVTR -the

Home Video Tape Recorder. Before you
say, "I've heard that song before," let's
say that we, too, have heard it, believed it
and been disappointed. This year, however, we don't expect to be disappointed.
There seems to be plenty of evidence to
support our belief in the form of actual
products in the marketplace, a hefty sales
base established in 1977 and a strong
consumer belief in HVTR as a viable
product that has finally come of age after
15 years of trial -and -error development
and marketing.
Much of what has happened since our
last look at HVTR (Radio -Electronics,
June, 1976) is centered around a change
in attitudes and efforts of the companies
that make up the HVTR industry. These
companies have come to realize that the
corporate ego battles they have been
fighting have cost them untold millions in
wasted research and development costs
and in sales that have not been rung up
because consumers have been presented
with too many forms of proprietary,
incompatible equipment. They have decided not to waste any more money but
rather make money and perhaps recoup
their losses. In effect, manufacturers have
stopped worrying about ego-defined as
"value, standing, dignity, prestige"-and
are united in putting across HVTR
even if it involves diverse approaches.
While these diverse approaches (there
are six in all) still represent more incompatibility than consumers should ideally
be faced with, there is strong hope, and

some proof, that the new crop of systems
can coexist, as, for example, in the audio
field where the consumer can choose six
kinds of tape (reel, cassette, cartridge,
Elcaset and two forms of micromini cassette). What the consumer sees today is
not just a few companies meagerly pro-
moting proprietary approaches to

HVTR, but nearly all the major TV/
home electronics companies touting
HVTR on a grand scale as the most

dramatic home entertainment concept
that has come along since the birth of
television. While the consumer still has to
make a choice, it is within the framework
of a total concept he can now believe in
since it has the backing of an entire industry, and is an industry in itself.
What has also happened since our last
look at HVTR is that videotape equipment manufacturers have decided to cut

off the videodisc "at the pass,"
to
speak, by developing more viable, more
flexible formats. Their reasoning is that if
the tape formats become entrenched, the
disc formats will have a tough time
winning their share of the market and will
exist only on a low- interest level, or fall
by the wayside.
The main sales pitch of suppliers is that
HVTR's offer both record and play capability, and at best, videodiscs can offer
only one -hour play time while videotape
offers up to six times as much. Suppliers
also stress that HVTR's recording capability enables the consumer to record
programs he might otherwise miss because of simultaneous scheduling and to
view them any time that he, rather than a
so
network, prefers.
The HVTR market

Having met and, in some cases, exceeded their sales projections for 1977,
HVTR manufacturers are bullish about
1978 and beyond: Here's how the market
looks to them:

its own and other brand names to be
about 200,000 units, a third of its worldwide sales. Furthermore, the company
predicts the industry is heading for "an
estimated $I billion in sales by 1980."
RCA says, "The home videocassette
recorder market will reach the billion dollar annual sales level in three years
by the end of August, 1980. The industry
will sell 750,000 units in 1978, and well

Toshiba predicts sales of 500,000 units
for the industry in 1978.
Magnavox is "conservatively" predicting industry sales of half a million units in

1978.
Panasonic sees the industry selling "between 500,000 and 750,000 units in 1978.

video recording and playback heads.) When tape loading process is completed, loading ring clamps
tape between capstan and pinch roller as shown in c.
In 1979 we'll see an increase -we can't

say precisely how big."
JVC expects the industry to sell
400,000 units in 1978, 600,000 in 1980
and 800,000 in 1981.
Sanyo states: "Some of the predictions
made by others are not realistic. HVTR
will be a good, strong market in 1978, but
we tend to think that overall sales will be
somewhere under 200,000 units."
A Gallup survey, commissioned by
Sony- Paramount and other interested
parties, estimated that HVTR, at current
prices, has a sales potential of 5 million
homes. A consultant on the project estimated that 2 million homes would have
HVTR's by 1980.
Another survey conducted by Arthur
Little predicts that by 1985, movie
houses will be obsolete as a result of
viewers switching to projection TV's fed
by HVTR's, CATV and videodiscs
(should they actually become a viable
reality). The prediction hinges on expectations that HVTR prices will drop
sharply as sales increase.
HVTR systems
There are four basic HVTR systems in
the consumer market, plus two variations,
for a total of six. They are:
1. The Beta (or Betamax) format developed by Sony at a reported cost of $33
million. This format is available as Beta I
and Beta 2 in several brands, the numbers
originally standing for hours of record/
play time.
2. The VHS formats, consisting of
VHS 2 developed by JVC and VHS 4
created by the parent company Matsushita, in at least six brands, with the
numbers standing for operating times.
3. The V -Cord Two, the first long playing HVTR developed by Sanyo and
marketed under that brand name, providing up to two hours of operating time.
4. The VX -2000, also known as the
Great Time Machine, developed by Matsushita, offering up to two hours of operation and marketed in the U. S. under the
Quasar name.
The four basic systems are mutually
incompatible. But the Beta systems are
compatible in the one-hour speed (with
exceptions). The VHS systems are also
compatible at the higher (two-hour)
speed.
What helps the industry is that, in

addition to having some equipment compatibility, the brand -oriented consumer
has an option of brand names within the
Beta and VHS formats. If he buys a Beta
I unit bearing the Sony name, he can
exchange one -hour tapes with a friend
who owns a two-speed Beta 2 machine
marketed under the Sony, Toshiba or
Zenith brand names (but not the one speed Beta 2 offered by Sanyo and
Sears). Tapes made on VHS 2 machines
can be played on units bearing the JVC,
Hitachi, MGA and Sharp names. These
same two -hour tapes can also be played
on VHS 4 machines in the VHS 2 operating mode. At the moment, RCA is hedging a bit on the compatibility between its
VHS 4 machines and those bearing other
names. While RCA guarantees compatibility between its model and others in the
two -hour mode, with respect to the four hour mode, it says there might be "a
slight degradation noticeable in interchange of tapes and machines" in that
speed, and that "slight tracking errors
might be possible." A spokesman for
Matsushita /Panasonic stated the company "guarantees perfect compatibility between VHS 4 machines in the four -hour
mode. Should there be some slight difference in picture quality, it's just a matter
of adjusting the tracking control."
Let's take a look at some of the basic
operating characteristics, specifications
and features of the individual formats:
Beta 1 and Beta 2: Rotary two -head
helical scan system. Video signal: EIA
standard, NTSC type color. Tape speeds:
1.57 PS for Beta I; .79 IPS for Beta 2.
Video signal -to- noise: better than 40 dB.

facilities include a tracking control, pause
switch, power pushbutton, channel selectors, fine tuning, AFT pushbutton, memory switch, reset pushbutton for tape counter, program selector and camera input

VHS TAPE LOADING SYSTEM. When the cas-
sette is inserted, two sets of loading poles draw

the tape out of the cassette and around the
rotary cylinder. The tape is in contact with more
than half the circumference of the rotary cylinder, which contains the video recording and
playback heads. The impedance rollers spin as
the tape is supplied to insure smooth tape
travel. Simultaneously, the pinch roller shifts
toward the cassette and clamps the tape
against the capstan.
8200 is SNRS (Sony Noise-Reduction

System) to stabilize performance and
retain a high -quality picture.
Beta owners can watch one program on
the TV set to which the unit is attached,
and simultaneously record a program
from another channel via the unit's built in tuners. Blank tape prices are about
$12.45 for one-hour, and $16.95 for two hour tapes.
VHS 2 and VHS 4: Rotary two -head
helical scan system. Video signal system:
EIA standard, NTSC -type color. Tape
speeds: 1.32 IPS for VHS 2:.66 IPS for
VHS 4. Video signal -to- noise: better than
43 dB. Horizontal resolution: more than
240 lines in color mode. Uses' /1 -inch tape
in 4.1 X 7.4 X .98 -inch cassette.
The VHS 2 and VHS 4 units attach to
TV sets via their antenna terminals. The
VHS 2 unit, as supplied by JVC, has
eight operating controls for pause, audio
dub, record, rewind, stop, play, fast forward and eject. Other features include a
timer select switch, microphone jack,
tracking control, search control (which
lets you easily and automatically rewind
tape to a predetermined point), tape
counter, recording selector (selects between TV or an auxiliary program
source), UHF and VHF tuners and automatic fine tuning button. There's a built in LED clock timer for recording when
you are away or occupied. A built -in
tuner permits you to simultaneously record one TV program as you watch
another.
The VHS 4 unit, as supplied by Matsushita for RCA, Panasonic, Magnavox,
etc., is similar in basic specifications and
operating features to the JVC VHS 2
unit, except for four-hour record /play
capability plus switchable two-hour capability. The two formats are totally dissimilar in appearance, with the VHS 2 somewhat smaller. VHS 4 units offer a memory switch that can be set to find any
particular point in a tape. They also offer
a remote pause control, with a 20 -foot-

While most of the Beta and VHS units
look quite similar, this is only temporary.
Some units under contract production
will be face -lifted with proprietary
designs. In some cases, manufacturers
will shift from contract sourcing to their
own production, with individual designs.
Eventually, HVTR's will look as similar
or as dissimilar as audio tape recorders do
today.
The same design changes will apply to
features. Currently some firms are locked
into machines made for them for marketing under their own brand names. As

initial production problems ease up, it

will be possible for those firms to obtain
units made with special features that may
not be offered by the OEM suppliers in
their current models.
Playing times
While the operating time of the VHS 4
system obviously has an edge over that of
the other systems, this advantage will be
reduced to some extent in the Beta
formats. Sony decided to improve its
position by lengthening the operating
time of its hardware through an upcoming new tape (L -750) that offers a longer
record /play time. The end result is that
the Beta machines can function for I'/:
1
hours, and the Beta 2 machines, for three

hours -per- cassette.
Simultaneously, Sony announced a
$100 changer that allows two Beta cassettes to be played (or recorded) successively for up to six hours of programming.
(During recording, the user loses 10 to 12
seconds of program material in the
changing cycle between tapes.)
Camera equipment
While the home videocassette user has
it made in terms of off- the -air color
recording, his lot is not as happy in terms
of do- it- yourself "live" color recording.
At press time, only three color cameras
that could be classified as "consumer prices higher
type" were available
than those of the HVTR's they'd be used
with. One color camera from JVC, priced
at $1500, uses two 2/3 -inch vidicon tubes
and has an optical viewfinder. Another
camera from Toshiba, priced at $1700,
uses a single -inch vidicon tube with a
stripe filter and has an optical viewfinder.
Another version of the Toshiba model,
offered under the GBC brand name, is
priced at $1595.
If color is a must, you have to dig deep
into your wallet. Or you can settle for
black- and -white programming and use
cameras in the $260 -to-$400 range, as
-at
ducers; X -rated films; travel films; comedy packages that are mainly in the public
domain; sports activities; educational
films; documentaries, etc.
And there's additional program potential. Sony, through independent companies, offers a service that electronically
color- corrects old 8 -mm home movies
and 35 -mm slides, and transfers them to
videocassettes for Beta -format playback.
One company is S/T Videocassette Duplicating Corp., Leonia, NJ. This company provides the service through over
200 retail store depots. Another company, Show /Tapes, Hollywood, CA, offers film -to- videocassette transfers of Super 8 -mm home movies, at $1 -perminute
plus the cost of the blank tape.
These are merely examples of what's
currently available. By the time this
appears in print, dozens of companies will
probably be selling recorded videocassettes and offering film -to -tape transfer
services.
As the HVTR industry develops, you
can expect to see hundreds of specialty
operations offering videocassette rentals.
At this moment, it's too early to tell what
rental fees will be. We'll venture to guess
that initially fees will be high, but will
drop markedly as competition expands.
Essentially, rentals will become a viable,
affordable approach to providing viewers
with a variety of programs.

offered by the companies supplying recorders as well as camera specialty

firms.
As for recording sound, it's no -sweat
proposition; the video cameras have builtin microphones. Also, some cameras connect into the remote -pause -control connection, thus enabling you to turn the
HVTR on and off from the camera.
Prerecorded tapes
Beta and VHS HVTR equipment owners will not suffer a lack of prerecorded
tapes. They will have a substantial variety
of choices initially (over 1000 tapes in the
Beta format at press time), and eventually
will have a vast library from which to
satisfy most tastes. Furthermore, in many
instances, they need not buy the tapes;
they can rent them.
The prime candidates for videocassette
programming are movie films. Already
available are many recent and ancient
classics from several major film companies; recent hits (great and not -so- great);

Other developments
Based on reports circulating in the
industry as we go to press, you can expect
the following developments:
Sony and Toshiba will manufacture
single -speed two -hour Beta 2 machines at
lower prices (possibly $150 less) than
current two -speed models (one- and twohour operation). These units will be
smaller and lighter than two -speed models and will have built -in timers.

is "what will happen

to videocassette deck pricing ?" Since last
July, manufacturers' original list prices
have been decimated on the retail front
for three reasons: (1) Anxious dealers
moving merchandise just to keep their
cash flow active regardless of low profits;
(2) Aggressive, highly competitive

dealers seeking to garner a big share of
the market early on; or (3) merchants
who won't let a customer walk out without buying something.
Another aspect of the pricing picture is
the bottom -line reality of the marketing
front. Companies are in a bind: They have
to amortize millions of dollars in research
and development costs for their HVTR
products, and yet come up with prices
that will be reasonably attractive to both
dealers and consumers. RCA took the
bull by the horns by list -pricing its Matsushita -made system for $95 less than
Panasonic, a division of Matsushita. A
spokesman for Panasonic explained: "To
Matsushita, Panasonic, even as a division,
was merely another customer placing an
order. RCA got there first, with a big
order -bigger than what we expected to
place. We just couldn't list -price our sets
as advantageously as RCA and give our
dealers realistic profit margins." (Realistic and viable retail profit margins in the
TV /electronics field are about 30%.)
Industry observers predict that HVTR
pricing will settle to realistic levels eventually, enabling companies to amortize

to affect all HVTR producers. One prediction is that the suit is doomed and may
never reach the courts. Another is that,

HI -FI
Dolby FM
More than just noise
reduction
A Dolby B system does more than just reduce noise
in FM broadcasts, it permits stations to transmit program
material with wider dynamic range. Here's how.
MOST READERS OF RADIO -ELECTRONICS
LEN FELDMAN
are familiar with Dolby noise-reduction

or Dolby -B systems in stereo cassette
tape decks. However, to review quickly,
the Dolby -B circuit is a specialized comp ander in which high- frequency, low -level
program material is progressively boosted
(depending on amplitude) during encoding and symmetrically attenuated during
playback.
Figure
shows the typical Dolby -B
encoder characteristics. The decoding
processor imparts converse curves (attenuating high frequencies appropriately at
each level shown) so the net response for
the two -part process is flat over the entire
audio -frequency range. Since objectionable noise or tape hiss occurs primarily at
high frequencies, the chief virtue of the
Dolby -B system as applied to tape recording is its ability to reduce such high frequency noise by as much as 10 dB.
This is a substantial improvement, especially with cassette tapes, which, without
such added noise reduction, can provide a
maximum signal -to -noise (S /N) ratio of
not much more than 55 dB (assuming
that top-grade tapes are used with top quality tape decks).
In view of the emphasis placed by tape
deck users on the Dolby system's noise reduction capability, it is not surprising
that ever since this system was applied to
FM and stereo FM broadcasting, most
audiophiles have considered Dolby FM as
simply a way of reducing background
noise during weak FM reception. Indeed,
if you live far from a station and have
been plagued with inadequate S/N ratios,
CONTRIBUTING HI -FI EDITOR
background noise is reduced significantly

if the station begins using Dolby and if
your tuner or receiver is equipped with
the necessary modification circuitry and
decoder. In most listening situations,
however, such noise reduction is imperceptible.
Figure 2 show why this is so. A modern
tuner or receiver can provide a maximum
S/N ratio of 70 dB or more when a strong
signal is fed to its antenna terminals. A
strong signal is one that is greater than

around 100 V (or, in power terms, 45

dBf referred to a 300 -ohm antenna input). In most listening situations (particularly if a good outdoor FM antenna is
used), tuners and receivers are provided
with far more signal strength than that. A
70 -dB S/N ratio is better than that available in most program material (records,
tapes, etc.) transmitted over FM. Thus,
even if Dolby adds another 10 dB of S/N
capability (at high frequencies), residual
noise is still generated more by the
program material than by the transmission medium. Then why do stations bother to switch to Dolby, and why do more
and more tuner and receiver manufacturers incorporate some or all the Dolby
circuitry in their products?
Pre -emphasis and deemphasis
When FM broadcast standards were
first established in the United States, it
was realized that for the most noise -free
performance, broadcast signals had to be
processed in a particular way, both at the
transmitting and receiving ends.
A form of treble boost, known as pre emphasis, is used at the transmitting end.
Program material is passed through a
circuit that boosts high- frequency tones
in accordance with the curve shown in
Fig. 3. This curve is known as a 75 -s pre emphasis curve (the R -C time constant
required to produce this response). By
installing the converse response at the
tuner or receiver (as shown in Fig. 4), a
flat musical response, is restored while
high- frequency hiss or background noise
is reduced in much the same way as

known as a 50 -s pre- emphasis (or deemphasis) curve. If a 50 -s time constant
is used, the maximum boost at 15 kHz is
only around 14 dB instead of 17.07 dB.
However, with modern programs, this
extreme treble boost at the transmitting
end still poses problems. Broadcasters
must limit peak modulation levels by
using compression circuits, peak
limiters and other devices that alter the
dynamic range of the music and degrade
the naturalness of the reproduced

When Dr. Ray Dolby first proposed

that his noise -reduction system be applied
to FM broadcasting, he suggested that
the pre- emphasis and deemphasis used
with Dolby be further reduced to 25 s,
as shown by the curves in Fig. 5. This
suggestion was made after conducting
studies of the peak levels reached in
modern recorded music. To underline the
importance of this change in pre- emphasis and deemphasis, Dolby Laboratories
recently published a graph (Reproduced

would be the case if you turned down the

treble control on your amplifier, but with
no attendant loss of musical highs in the
program material.
Since the Federal Communications
Commission limits FM modulation at any
audio frequency to 75 kHz, examine
what adding pre- emphasis at the broadcast end does to the station's dynamic
range capability (the ability to transmit
the softest and loudest musical passages
without altering their relative intensities). If you wanted to broadcast a series
of tones, each modulating the transmitter
to its full 75 -kHz limit, it would be
necessary to reduce the broadcast-tone
amplitude beginning at about kHz. At
10 kHz, that tone's amplitude would have
to be reduced by 13.66 dB; while at 15
kHz, which is the highest tone that can be
transmitted over FM, the tone amplitude
would have to be diminished by 17.07 dB,
since the pre- emphasis (or treble boost)
built into the system would raise the
modulation level to the 75 kHz maximum.
In the early FM days, programs did
not have as much high -frequency content
as they do today, so the 75 -s pre emphasis and deemphasis standard
adopted by the FCC for improved S/N
performance imposed no particular hardship upon broadcasters. Rarely, if ever,
did high-frequency music push the modulation levels high enough to exceed 751

quirement points obtained by researchers

(listed in Fig. 6) who have studied this
matter. Note that even with modern programs, the full 50 watts of our hypothetical amplifier is not needed at high
frequencies, but often more power is
needed than is possible to achieve when
we take into account the effect of 75 -As
deemphasis used in standard United
States FM broadcasting.
By changing the deemphasis and pre emphasis characteristics during a Dolby
broadcast, not only is the usual noise
reduction associated with the Dolby "B"
system achieved, but the broadcaster is
permitted to increase average modulation
levels without having to interject undesirable compression or limiting, which results in a greater and more realistic
dynamic range. The increased noise level
that results from the reduced pre -emphasis/deemphasis characteristic used
is more than offset by the noise reducing properties of the Dolby -B system itself.
Compatibility
There are two levels of incompatibility
between a tuner or receiver equipped
with standard 75 -As de-emphasis and a
57
Dolby FM received program. First, the

non-Dolby tuner or receiver does not
have the necessary decoder to continuously and dynamically expand the high frequency content of low -level signals.
Second, a program broadcast with 25 -s
pre- emphasis, when played back through
a tuner or receiver equipped with a 75 -s
deemphasis network, will sound deficient in treble response since the treble
frequencies arc being rolled off at a greater rate than they are being boosted at the
broadcast end.
Fortunately, these two effects work in
opposing directions. The extra boost of
low -level high- frequency signals controlled dynamically (depending upon level) by the Dolby encoder at the station
end tends to offset the extra fixed treble
cut introduced by the higher deemphasis
rate at the receiver. However, since one
effect varies according to program level
while the other effect is fixed, perfect
cancellation of the two occurs only for a
narrow loudness range, and Dolby FM
broadcast listeners have noticed that
"things are not quite right" on a conventional non - Dolby- equipped tuner or receiver.
Most FM tuners and receivers do not
have either a 25- As /75-s deemphasis
switch or a built -in Dolby decoder. However, some new, relatively expensive
tuners and receivers do come equipped
with one or both of these features. If you
own an older set, you must do two things
in order to enjoy the full benefits of
Dolby FM broadcasting. First, you must
buy a separate Dolby decoder. However,
some cassette decks permit you to use the
already built -in Dolby circuitry in such a
way that the output of the tuner is fed to
the cassette deck (even when no recording is to be made) and heard via the
deck's playback output, which has already been subjected to Dolby decoding.
Second, the deemphasis of your current tuner or receiver must be made

This circuit would be suitable for use

with tuners having an output impedance
lower than 2,000 ohms. For tuners with a
higher output impedance, an active buffer must be used between the tuner
output and the input to the compensator.
Figure 8 shows a suitable buffer circuit.
Any low noise transistor such as a
2N3707 can be used.
Since the normal passive compensator
shown in Fig. 7 introduces an insertion
loss (at low frequencies) of up to 10 dB
(when used to convert 75 -As deemphasis
to 25 -As deemphasis), some tuners may
not have sufficient output voltage to drive
some Dolby decoders through the series inserted compensator. In that case, an
active circuit incorporating both gain and
the necessary deemphasis is required.

The advantages gained through using

Dolby FM can easily be offset by poor
station practices. If, for example, a station
switches over to Dolby in order to transmit louder average levels, and continues
to use peak limiters and compressors,
then the real benefit of Dolby FM is lost
and listeners are subjected to the same
monotonous nondynamic music programming that prompted Dolby to suggest
using his system in the first place. Although many stations do not take advantage of the added dynamic range potential
afforded by Dolby, some broadcast engineers recognize the real benefits of Dolby
FM and modify their studio console practices accordingly, much to the enjoyment
of their listeners. If you are in an area
where one or more FM stations use Dolby
for all or part of their broadcast day and
you believe that they are not taking proper advantage of the system, you might do
them and yourself a favor by pointing it
out to them.

the unit's keyboard; the digit combinations
correspond to words that the machine will
then reproduce. Up to 40 commands can
be stored in memory until recalled by the
TALK pushbutton. The commands are fed to
the phonetic synthesizer, an analog of the
human vocal system; the sounds are then
articulated through a built -in 4-ohm, 400 milliwatt speaker. According to a company
spokesman, the machine "has an unlimited
vocabulary, since it stores the sounds that
make up all words, not just a limited selection of words."
The HandiVoice is expected to be available in April and will sell for less than
$2000.

Stereo Cassette Deck

HI -FI EDITOR
IF YOU HAVE THOUGHT OF U.S. PIONEER
Electronics only as a manufacturer of

stereo receivers, it may come as a surprise to you to learn that they also
produce a complete line of cassette and
open -reel tape decks. The cassette units
initially fell into a midpriced category.
As the cassettes met with increasing
success in the U. S., models were added
to each end of the price spectrum, front loading models were added in all price
categories and the product line continued
to expand to meet different budgets and
tastes.
The model CT- F1000, shown in Fig. 1,
represents Pioneer's best and most expensive effort to date. The unique feature
that places it way ahead of the next lower
unit, model CT- F9191, is its "three head" construction that enables you to
monitor recordings as they are being
made, much as you would with an open reel deck. Furthermore, Pioneer's two-inone head package (separate record and
play coils and gaps all contained in a
single head package) reduces the distance
between the record and play gaps, and
records can be played back with minimal
time lapse.
A flip -away hinged cover protects the
precision heads when the machine is not
in use. Swinging the cover out of the way
permits you to easily insert any standard
cassette, with the tape downward, and
rear illumination makes tape travel clearly visible. This simplified arrangement
also permits easy access to tape heads for
cleaning and maintenance. A tiny rotary
PITCH CONTROL, just to the left of the
cassette compartment (see Fig. 1), varies
the tape speed by 6% and is used only in
playback (for playing tapes that might

not have been recorded at the correct
speed). The POWER on -off toggle switch is
located at the lower left of the panel. The
piano-key transport controls are linked to
solenoid -drive circuitry, which means
that you can switch from one transport
mode to another without having to press
the STOP button. The modes provided are
fast forward, fast rewind, stop, forward
play and record. The latter two keys must
be pressed together to record.
Twin meters at the upper right of the
panel are calibrated from -40 dB to +5
dB. Between the meters are four light
indicators. The uppermost indicator is an
LED marked PEAK that flashes when
peak levels equal or exceed a +5 -dB
recording level. The remaining lights indicate that the recording mode has been
selected, that Dolby circuitry has been
activated and that Cr02 tape has been
inserted in the cassette compartment
(and the bias and equalization have been
automatically selected for such tape).
To the right of the cassette compartment are a three-digit counter, RESET
button and a MEMORY switch that, when
depressed, automatically stops the rewind
mode when the preset digit counter
reaches "000." Dual, concentrically
mounted microphone /DIN level, line record level and playback output level controls each have memory marker discs that
can be set to remind you of preferred
record and playback levels for a given
recording setup. Twin microphone inputs
(one for each channel) are located to the
right of the output level control knobs,
while just below is a headphone jack.
Lever controls along the lower section
of the panel include a PAUSE switch,
record LIMITER switch (useful for limiting unexpected peaks during microphone

recordings), a two-position BIAS switch, a

three-position equalization switch (with a
setting for FeCr tape), a DOLBY switch
with an extra position for Dolby FM that
introduces a multiplex filter. Two Dolby
calibration controls and a 400 -Hz TEST
tone switch are next, followed by what is
perhaps the most important control on
the panel -the SOURCE /TAPE switch.
This switch, made possible by the three head configuration, permits you to monitor recordings in progress, making it easy
to compare recorded results with the
source material being recorded.
The rear panel is equipped with two
sets of input jacks and two sets of output
jacks. Duplication of inputs and outputs
makes it easy to use for dubbing and for
feeding program material to a second tape
deck. A combination DIN Record /Play
connector, convenience AC receptacle
and a ground terminal are also located on
the rear panel.
Lab measurements
Table I lists the results of our lab
measurements. The three -head configuration made it possible to plot continuous
frequency response curves as well as the
3 -dB rolloff points shown in Table I.
We used our spectrum analyzer to
make a sweep- frequency recording at 0dB record level, using TDK Audua C -60
cassette tape, with the bias and equalization set for "standard" tape. The 0-dB
record level is used primarily to gain
insight into the saturation characteristics
of the machine /tape combination.
The more meaningful record /play response is measured at a -20 -dB recording level, and note in Fig. 2 that the lower
trace shows a slight rise that peaks at
around 14 kHz, before it falls off to the

-3-dB point at 17 kHz. All in all, these
were excellent results for this high-quality standard tape.
The same measurements were made
using TDK SA C -60 tape, and the scope
photo of Fig. 3 shows the results for 0 -dB
and -20 -dB record levels. The bias and
equalization were reset to the Cr02 position (although the TDK SA C -60 tape is
a ferric-particle tape, it requires the same
high bias and equalization settings of
Cr02 tape). These measurements show
that there was no rise in response at the
high end, but the -3 -dB point was
reached a bit sooner, at an acceptable 16
kHz. The true superiority of the "SA"
tape is indicated more by the distortion
and signal -to -noise results than by the
slight difference in observed record /play
frequency response characteristics.
Be aware that the single-reading distortion numbers measured for this or any
other cassette deck are actually somewhat
deceptive. An ordinary distortion analyzer combines wide-spectrum noise with
actual harmonic distortion and yields one
figure, in percent. For a more accurate
reading of harmonic distortion products,
it is preferable to use a spectrum analyzer
to observe the actual harmonics separately from the noise. Figure 4 shows the
results we obtained using the TDK Audua tape, and Fig. 5 shows results for the
"SA" tape sample. In Fig. 4, the clearly
visible dominant third -harmonic component is about 48 -dB lower than the I -kHz
fundamental at center -screen. (Each vertical division is a 10 -dB amplitude
change.) Thus, the third -harmonic component represents barely 0.4% distortion.
In the case of the "SA" tape sample,
second -harmonic distortion was somewhat higher compared with third-harmonic distortion, but both were nearly
52 -dB below the fundamental. Combining both distortion components results in
a figure of only 0.355% or so.

and summary comments regarding the
features and performance of the Pioneer
model CT-FI000 cassette deck.

Comments: The separate record and playback head, mounted in a single housing, makes the
model CT-F1000 a true three-headed cassette deck and should not be confused with
lesser machines which manage to cram in a third, poor quality monitoring head that
serves as a most minimal indication that recording is taking place. By separating the
record and play head functions, each can be designed for optimum performance and
that seems to be just what Pioneer has done. However, there is much more to the
model CT-F1000 stereo cassette deck than its three -head configuration. Tape transport is smooth and flawless, thanks in part to the dual -capstan drive that reduces
erratic effects caused by less- than -perfect cassette housings. We appreciated the
presence of the Dolby calibration controls; an absolute necessity if you hope to use the
Dolby noise -reduction system as it was designed to be used. This feature, present on
earlier machines, was dropped so as not to confuse users, but anyone who purchases
a deck such as this is certainly capable of handling the calibration. There are so many
hidden refinements in this deck besides the obvious front -panel control features that
they can only be appreciated through extensive use of the machine. Consider the slack
take -up system, for example. When a cassette is inserted, the takeup motor goes into
the rewind mode for a fraction of a second, automatically, to take up the slack which
might otherwise impair performance of the dual- capstan drive system. What Pioneer
terms "follow -on recording" allows the user to edit electronically by going into the
record mode during playback, which is similar to the "flying- start" recording
commonly found in open -reel machines. The model CT-F1000 has just about every
standard feature of a top-quality deck and some that aren't so common.

Sony STR7800SD Receiver

HI -FI EDITOR
LIKE OTHER RECEIVERS IN SONY'S PRO -
duct line, the new model STR- 7800SD

features a completely different look; and
one that is more than just a cosmetic face lifting of earlier designs. A close examination of the front panel of this highest
powered receiver from Sony will quickly
cause you to take another look at more
conventionally arranged panels, for Sony
has really gone all out to make this one of
the easiest to use and understand layouts
that we have seen to date. The front panel
(see Fig. 1) has a large tuning knob and a
step -type calibrated master volume control in the upper right hand corner. A
-20 -dB audio MUTING switch (handy for
lowering the volume when answering the

doorbell or a phone) is logically positioned right near the volume control. A
POWER pushbutton is at the upper left,
and alongside it are signal- strength /multipath and center -of- channel tuning
meters mounted behind a smoked plastic
insert. Illuminated words that indicate
stereo reception and the activation of the
built -in Dolby FM circuits are located in
the same general area.
The long linear FM dial scale (calibrated at every 200 kHz), the AM dial
scale, TAPE dubbing selector switch, tape
MONITOR switch and program selector
switch are tastefully framed within a
large area that extends from the center of
the panel downward with the upper section of this area in a dark background
color, and the lower area contains the
remaining controls, jacks and switches.

These include a headphone jack; a SPEAKER selector switch (up to three sets of
speakers can be connected); high -cut and
low -cut FILTER switches, with selectable
cutoff switches for each; dual -concentric
BASS and TREBLE tone controls; BALANCE
control; acoustic compensator switch;
MUTING, FM DOLBY and MULTIPATH pushbutton switches (the multipath switch
changes the function of the signal strength meter to that of a multipath indicator) and a mono /stereo switch. Also
contained within this area is an external
adaptor switch that acts as another circuit- interruption point for the addition of
such devices as graphic equalizers, expanders, 4- channel adapters, etc. There is an
auxiliary input jack which, when used to
connect a tape deck or other high -level
program source from the front panel, cuts
out other devices already connected to the
AUX terminals at the rear panel.
The acoustic compensator switch has
three positions in addition to the OFF
setting. One position introduces conventional loudness compensation, another
adds bass boost only (the amount of boost
is determined by VOLUME control
settings) and the last position introduces
a very moderate mid -frequency boost
kHz) for
(around 3 dB centered at
increased musical presence. The separate
three -position tape dubbing and monitoring switches permit dubbing from one
tape deck to another while listening to
other program sources as well as full
monitoring from either of two connected
tape decks.

The rear panel contains, in addition to

the usual screw- terminals for connection
of external AM and 300-ohm FM antenna leads, a 75 -ohm coaxial connector.
Two pairs of phono input jacks, AUX, TAPE
and TAPE 2 input and output jacks, an
FM detector output jack and external
adaptor input and output jacks come
next, followed by three sets of springloaded "piano -key" speaker wire terminals and three convenience AC receptacles. The rear panel is shown in Fig. 2.

Advanced Electronics
Should your
career in
electronics
go beyond
TV repair?
CREI prepares you at home
for broader and more advanced

opportunities in electronics
plus offers you special arrangements
for engineering degrees
There is no doubt television repair can

be an interesting and profitable career
field. TV repair, however, is only one of
the many career areas in the fast growing
field of electronics.
As an indication of how career areas
compare, the consumer area of electronics (of which TV is a part) makes up less
than one -fourth of all electronic equipment manufactured today. Nearly twice
as much equipment is manufactured for
the communications and industrial fields.
Still another area larger than consumer
electronics is the government area. That
is the uses of electronics in such areas as
research and development, the space
program, and others.
Just as television is only one part of
the consumer field, these other fields of
electronics are made up of many career
areas. For example, there are computer
electronics, microwave and satellite
communications, cable television, even
the broadcast systems that bring programs to home television sets.
As you may realize, career opportunities in these other areas of electronics are mostly for advanced technical
personnel. To qualify for these higher
level positions, you need college -level
training in electronics. Of course, while
it takes extra preparation to qualify for
these career areas, the rewards are
greater both in the interesting nature of
the work and in higher pay. Furthermore, there is a growing demand for
personnel in these areas.
Unlike most other home study schools,
CREI programs are devoted exclusively
to preparing you for careers in advanced
electronics. All of CREI programs are
college level. And CREI gives you both
theory and practical experience in advanced electronics.
Unique Design Lab

A unique feature of CREI training
is its
Electronic Design Laboratory Program,

which trains you to actually design circuits. It also helps you understand the
theories of advanced electronics and
gives you extensive practical experience
in such areas as tests and measurements,
breadboarding, prototype construction,

circuit operation and behavior, characteristics of electronic components and
how to apply integrated circuits.
career Training at Home
Only CREI offers this unique Lab

Program. It is a complete college lab
and, we believe, better than you will find
in most colleges. The "Lab" is one of
the factors that makes CREI training
interesting and effective. And the professional equipment in this program becomes yours to keep and use throughout
your professional career after you complete the training.
Engineering Degree
CREI offers you special arrangements
for earning credit for engineering degrees at certain colleges and universities
as part of your home study training program. An important advantage in these
arrangements is that you can continue
your full time job while "going to college"
with CREI. This also means you can
apply your CREI training in your work
and get practical experience to qualify
for career advancement.

made for the FM tuner. The results can

of claims for mono signals (no usable
sensitivity was given for stereo signals),
but 50 -dB quieting for both mono and
stereo signals was as specified. The stereo
50 -dB quieting figure was a bit poorer
than we would have preferred, considering the circuitry used, and may indicate
some slight front -end misalignment in
our sample. The signal -to -noise ratio in
mono was a bit better than specified, but
was -dB short of the 68 -dB figure Sony
specified for stereo operation. All distortion measurements at the three test audio
frequencies were considerably better than
claimed, with the exception of the THD
at 6 kHz in mono, which measured 0.27%
instead of 0.2%. Separation was excellent
at all test frequencies.

measurements
Table II shows results of measurements made on the power amplifier and
preamplifier sections of the model STR7800SD. Output power specifications
were greater than rated for the 0.07%
harmonic distortion level and, even
though Sony does not offer power ratings
for 4 -ohm operation (when more than one
pair of speakers is in use, they are
connected in series to prevent too low a
load impedance), we obtained 192 watts per- channel at mid -frequencies when
driving 4-ohm loads. Hum and noise measurements shown for both phono and
high -level inputs are better than rated,
but note that an "A" weighting network
was used in these measurements since
that is the way Sony chose to specify
these signal -to -noise results.
The range of the BASS and TREBLE
controls are shown in Fig 6. Turnover
points for the controls are at approximately 2 kHz (for TREBLE) and 500 Hz

Comments: Sony has carried over just about all their cleverly designed features and layout from
the other three lower- powered receivers in this series. The difference between this unit
and the earlier -tested STR- 6800SD is primarily one of power output and lower distortion specifications at rated power output. Since the lower- powered STR-6800SD
already has a great many control features (including an excellent front -panel layout), it
is just as well that this model retains the same front -panel look. We would have liked to
see a little better circuit design in the FM tuner section. Evidently, Sony considered
that the tuner performance would satisfy most listener requirements and so, the tuner
section remains essentially the same as that used in the lower- powered model.
All controls handle easily, and even though such features as variable turnover points
for the BASS and TREBLE controls are missing, this deficiency is offset by the multiple turnover filter circuits, separation of left and right BASS and TREBLE controls by means of
dual concentric knobs and the useful acoustic compensator control that adds versatility to the otherwise conventional tone -control facilities. The listening quality of the
model STR- 6800S0 offers particularly tight bass, a clean transparent midrange and
crisp highs. We detected a slight bit of raspiness at the extreme treble end when we

Of The Missing
Transistor Clues

Join the master super sleuth in his search for

clues to fix the mysterious amplifier
GERRALD E. WILLIAMS
ONE GLOOMY LONDON MORNING I FOUND

myself at 221 Baker Street in the com-
O
w
pany of the great detective Sherlock

Holmes and his companion, Dr. John
Watson.
Holmes and I were discussing the case
of the chrome cuspidor a most interesting case from a scientific point of view,
but Watson had considered it of little
public interest and had never written it
up. Watson was less jovial than usual,
being in some pain from his leg wound.
Having just received in the post one of
the new Oriental transistor amplifiers (after months of waiting), his humor was not
improved by the fact that it would not
work. Watson had taken to mumbling
oaths while trying to diagnose the problem. After some time, Holmes joined
Watson in solving the problem, and his
remarkable solution so impressed me that
I asked the good doctor to present the
case to his readers. He refused adamantly
in spite of Homes' insistence. After some
arguments, I persuaded Holmes to let me
publish the incident, and he heartily
agreed.
Here then, without Watson's more exciting (but sometimes less factual) style, I
shall relate the incident. Holmes entered
the problem when Watson said:
"Holmes, this bloody schematic has no
voltage values on it! How in the Queen's
name is one to diagnose the problem ?"
"Come now, Watson. I'm sure it will
prove quite elementary upon reasonable
examination. All that is needed is the
collector current, and all else will become
clear at once."
"Holmes, sometimes you infuriate me!
You treat me like a dashed idiot. If I

knew the collector current, the problem
would be simple enough. But as you can

see, it is nowhere to be found!"
"Watson, you see, but you do not
perceive." Holmes tamped down his pipe,
got a good light and bent over Watson's
drawing. He continued:
"This is the stage in question, is it
not ?"
"Yes, yes, that is the culprit, I'm
almost sure."
"Well then, we must find the collector
current as a start."
Holmes rummaged around on the cluttered mantelpiece for a few seconds and
extracted a dogeared sheet of yellow
foolscap. He examined it for an instant
and exclaimed:
"Ah yes, Watson, here it is, the voltage
drop across the emitter resistor, 1.4 volts
.
." Watson looked down at his schematic drawing and said:
"Holmes, I see no such value here. In
fact, I see no value at all. Where did you
get it ?"
"From this rough draft of a little
monograph of mine on collector current
mysteries," answered the detective.
Holmes handed him the paper, a somewhat more legible version of which is
presented here as Table I.
It is necessary to digress here for a
moment in the narrative to explain
Holmes' remarkable table. To use Table
I, one must first find the ratio by
performing the division:
Ratio = Rbt _ Rb2.
In the specific example,
Rb, = 18.8K, Rb2 = 4.7K
18.8K
Ratio =
4.
4.7K
The value of Vc, is IO volts. At the
intersection of "4" in the Ratio row and
.
68
10 volts in the Ve, column of Table I, one

will find the emitter resistor voltage drop
to be 1.4 volts. The asterisks indicate

conditions that, if they arise, represent a
borderline design and promise trouble.
The blanks indicate designs so poor that
they might well work in the early morning fog, quit altogether in the noonday
sun, only to work again the next morning!
Or perhaps they will work only on Friday
the 13th and Election Day and be on
vacation the rest of the year. At least, that
is what I make of Holmes' more technical
explanation.
Upon examining the table, Watson exclaimed:
"Astounding! But where did you get
these figures
.
. I've
never seen them
before."
"Of course, you haven't. have not
published them as yet," answered
Holmes.
"The figures are interesting enough
Holmes, but I don't see how they bear on
the problem at hand. Now look at this
circuit and tell me what good that 1.4 -volt
value is."
(The circuit in question is redrawn in
Fig. 1.)
"It's elementary my dear Watson. You
have heard of the notorious Mr. Ohm and
his law ?"
"Of course Holmes, I see it now. We
know that the resistance is 500 ohms and
the voltage drop is 1.4, and we can calculate . . let's see E = I times R .
no, no . . ." Holmes interrupted impa.
tiently:
"I = E divided by R, or in this case,

1.4 volts divided by 500 ohms. A collector
current of 2.8 milliamperes."
"Astounding Holmes!

"Holmes, I have it. Take a look at this

his chair, I will show you a copy of the
circuit with Watson's values on it. This is
presented in Fig. 2. Holmes studied the
drawing for an instant and exclaimed:

"Capital, Watson! Now I can hear my

Here Holmes is referring to the fact that a

circuit with emitter -resistor feedback will rarely
work properly with less than 2.5 to 3 volts
between collector and emitter.

If you are planning to set up your own workbench, here's a list
of basic test instruments you will need. Plus how to avoid
battery troubles. EARL "DOC" SAVAGE, K4SDS, HOBBY EDITOR
"1
PLAN TO SET UP AN ELECTRONICS WORK -
bench. What instruments do I need and

how much will they cost?"
For those of you who have asked this
question, we'll take a look at basic
required test instruments and some that
fit into the category of "useful and nice to
have." Included will be some minimum
requirements in terms of specifications or
characteristics. You will have to make the
final selection, however, so study the
prices and specifications. Check ads and
advertisers in Radio -Electronics and
visit local stores. Order catalogs from
several companies. Write direct to manufacturers or use the Readers Service Card
in this issue.
According to an old axiom, "You get
what you pay for." This is usually (but
not always) the case with test equipment.
More expensive items often have greater
accuracy, greater range, extra features or
all three. This is especially true when the
price difference is large. However, study
the specifications and know what you are
paying for. One caution: you don't need
an expensive laboratory -grade instrument
to do routine work.
Then, you must make another decision.
Many instruments can be purchased either in kit form or wired and ready to use.
Frequently, the same make and model is
available in both forms. You can save
money if you do the work yourself.
needed by even the occasional

dabbler in electricity or electronics. Without a VOM, you are
working blind. For greatest usefulness try to find one with at
least a 20,000 -ohms -per -volt input impedance on the DC voltage
ranges. ($16 and up.)
2. Signal injector -with just one
switch and one probe, this simple
instrument provides RF, IF and
AF signals for quickly checking
tuners, amplifiers and receivers.

Transistor checker -transistors

can be given a basic checkout
with a VOM, but an in- circuit /outof- circuit checker is most useful.
($13 and up.)
5.
Bench power supplies -every

hobbyist needs one or more power supplies. These days, one supply should have a 0 -15 VDC
capability at 500 mA. Fixed supplies are quite useful (5 VDC, 12
VDC). If much work is to be done
with tubes, you should consider a
variable high -voltage supply. You
can build the power supplies or
buy them assembled. ($12 and
up.)
Type of work
Here are some instruments you should
consider for your workbench. Your selection will be determined in part by the
type of work you plan to do. Accordingly,
these instruments are broken down into
five categories: General (needed by just
about everyone); Radio (for those interested in tuners, receivers and /or transmitters); Audio (for the amplifier and hifi buff); IC's (analog and digital); and
Nice to have (for those who can afford
them). Within each group, the instruments are listed in order from the most
needed to the least needed, together with
estimated prices.
Signal tracer -another instrument for quick checks similar to

the signal injector. The tracer is
used from the opposite end of the
circuit. Some people prefer the
injector and some, the tracer. On
occasion, it is handy to have
both. The tracer should have AF
and RF inputs and a volume control. ($14 and up.)
6.
Capacitor checker -although

this instrument is not essential, it
can be most useful. It should be
able to measure both capacitance and leakage. ($38 and up.)

sensitive voltmeter. This can

be any one of three types:
8. A
8 -a.
Vacuum -tube voltmeter
(VTVM) -this device features

high input impedance on DC
ranges, usually 11 megohms.
This means you can make measurements in low- signal and
other sensitive circuits without

loading them down and getting
distorted readings. Since some
VTVM's cannot measure current, they cannot replace a
VOM. ($35 and up.)
8 -b. Field- effect transistor VOM
(FETVOM) -this VOM has an
FET input stage that raises its
impedance to the VTVM category. ($35 and up.)
8 -c. Digital multimeter (DMM)most DMM's have an input impedance comparable to that of
a VTVM. Furthermore, most
have a high order of accuracy.
($60 and up.)
9. Signal generator
is impossible to align a receiver without a
signal generator. The suggested
minimum range is 400 kHz to 25
or 30 MHz. This instrument can
replace the signal injector described above. ($50 and up.)
10. Grid dip meter -this unconventional instrument is so useful
that it almost went on the general list. With a grid -dip meter you
can measure capacitors, coils,
tuned circuits and antennas. It
can be used as a signal generator within its tuning range. ($60
-it
and up.)
If you
work on transmitters as well as

tuners, receivers, etc., you should add the
following instruments, which can be
found individually or in various combinations:
11. Field strength meter-$12 up.
12. Standing -wave ratio meter
(SWR) -$15 up.
13.
Dummy load -$5 up.

audio hobbyist should also consider purchasing an

Radio
In addition to the instruments listed
above, the radio hobbyist will need the

IC's and transistors

Hobbyists should have instruments
through 10 and the following:
Breadboard- indispensable for

analog or digital circuits and for
transistors. You can quickly
build up circuits for testing or
design purposes. ($15 and up.)
16. Logic probe -essential for digital work. This instrument should
be able to detect pulses of very
short duration as well as simple
on /off states. ($10 and up.)

Pulse generator -extremely

useful with digital circuits. have
not found an inexpensive commercially made basic pulse generator. However, you can build
one for about $5, or purchase a
nice multifunction generator for

I
Nice to have
These are instruments that the hobbyist can do very well without for about
99% of the time. However, they are quite
useful and can occasionally save a bundle
of time. If your finances can stand the
strain, consider the following:
18. Tube checker -this is of less
and less use as tubes gradually
disappear from the scene. A few
years ago, it would have been
placed on the general list. Now,
it just saves you an occasional
trip to the self- service tester at
your local electronics dealer.
($40 and up.)
19. Oscilloscope- sometimes you
really need to see what a voltage
or other signal looks like -not
just know it's there. ($120 and
up.)
20. Frequency counter -for precise measurement of frequencies. ($60 and up.)
21. Digital IC tester -can be worthwhile if you do a lot of work in
this area. ($75 and up.)

So, there you have what I call the basic
list of instruments plus a few extra. Obviously, some instruments are more difficult to do without than others. You
certainly don't have to have all of them at
first. You can add them as your knowledge and the complexity of your work
increase. Also, if finances pinch too hard,
there are three ways you can ease the
strain:
First, check the ads for sales. You can
often obtain discontinued or overstocked
models at a savings.
Second, you can build your own instrumean build from
ments in many cases
scratch (as opposed to kits) by collecting
the parts yourself. Several instruments on
this list are quite simple to construct and
others are just a little more difficult.
Note especially items 2 -5, 7, 10 -13, 16
and 17. Check back issues of Radio Electronics, other magazines and handbooks. Not only does building from
scratch or from kits save you money, but
it is good experience.
The last, but not least, possibility for
-1
operated equipment, a convenience that is

just one of the advantages in these days of
transistors and IC's.
But how often have you started to use
an instrument only to find the battery
dead? Have you ever gone inside the
equipment to replace a battery and discovered that it has leaked so that you have
to spend hours cleaning up and replacing
corroded parts? Even if you are sure to
use the leak -proof variety, they still leak.
The time and annoyance of replacing
batteries depends upon the construction
of the device case.
In addition, these devices use a bewilcontinued on page 96
saving is to purchase used or previously

owned equipment. Be sure to check carefully the specifications, price, condition
and guarantee, if any. You can obtain
used gear from commercial establishments and /or from individuals. Don't
overlook the possibility of trading equipment for what you need.
In any case, do not despair and do not
hesitate, jump in and get started. Whether you work on tubes, transistors or IC
gear, you can do a lot of repairing, modifying and building with just a VOM!

Z -8
look at the nine addressing modes included in

the Z-80 instruction set.
WILLIAM BARDEN, JR.
OA
LAST MONTH, WE DISCUSSED THE Z -80 IN-
struction set. This month, we will take a

look at the various addressing modes
available to the Z -80 programmer.
There are nine types of addressing
included in the Z -80 instruction set, seven of these are included in the 8080
instruction set. The 8080 addressing
types include the following:
Register Addressing
2. Implied Addressing
3. Register Indirect Addressing
4. Extended Addressing
5. Immediate Addressing
6. Immediate Extended Addressing
7. Modified Page Zero Addressing
The additional types of Z -80 addressing
are:
8. Relative Addressing
9. Indexed Addressing
A register addressing type instruction
specifies which CPU registers will be
used in the instruction. The INC R instruction increments the contents of the specified register by one, for example. In this
example, the c register is specified by the
programmer.
1.
Mnemonic
INC C
Instruction Configuration
00001100
001 specifies register c
000 register B, etc.
Implied addressing is used on any

instruction in which the use of one or
more CPU registers is implied. An example of this would be the one -byte instruction ADD B which adds the contents of the
B register to the A register and places the
result in the A register. Use of the A
register is implied.
Mnemonic
ADD B
10000000
000 specifies register B
001 register c, etc.
Register indirect addressing type instructions generally use the H,L register
pair as a pointer to memory, although
pairs B,C and D,E are also employed. The
Z-80 block instructions for moves,
searches and I/O are of this type, in addition to the more standard 8080 instructions. Here the instruction is a one -byte
instruction and the H,L register pair holds
the address of the operand in memory. If
the H,L register pair held 200010, for

example, the following instruction would
add the contents of location 200010 and
the A register, and put the results in the A
register.
Mnemonic
ADD (HL)
10000110
Extended addressing is also used in the

8080. Here the instruction is three bytes
long with the first byte specifying the
operation code and the next two bytes
specifying a 16 -bit memory address of an
operand or a jump location. The 8080 JMP
instruction becomes JP in the Z -80.
Mnemonic
JP 200H

e 3
20018
Immediate addressing and immediate

extended addressing are 8080-type addressing modes. In the first, the second
byte of the two -byte instruction specifies
an 8 -bit operand to be used in the instruction. In the second type, the immediate
operand to be used is 16 -bits, or two
bytes.

Modified page zero addressing in the

Z -80, as in the 8080, is a special CALL
instruction of one byte. The instruction is
designated a restart, and causes a transfer
to a page 0 location. It is used for
commonly used subroutines or (usually)
for interrupt processing for multi -interrupt capability. Page 0 is defined as
locations 0 through FF16.

Relative addressing is not found in the

8080. The Z -80 uses this addressing
mode only in jump type instructions.
Here, the second byte of the two -byte
instruction specifies an 8 -bit signed displacement that is added to the current
contents of the program counter to produce the jump address. Since the displacement may be +127 to -128, a relative jump can conditionally or unconditionally jump back -126 or forward
+129 from the jump instruction (program counter points to next instruction
after the jump). Since many jumps in a
program are within this range, this instruction can be used to save one byte
over an extended -type JP, and of course,
to execute in a shorter time than a JP.

In indexed addressing, one of the two

index registers ix or IY is used. The

The result is the memory address to be

The four NiCad batteries are housed in a
snap -in Battery-Pak. A spare Pak may be
obtained and carried along, fully charged. To
change the Pak, just pop the old one out and
the new one in. The charger socket on the Pak
allows the charger to be used on the instrument itself or on the spare Pak. In an emergency, stock AA batteries may be used.
The case is made of high -impact plastic,
with no exposed metal parts. The test leads are
connected to a flat polarized plug with a
locking latch that fits into a socket on the top
end of the case. You can't pull it out accidentally; the release button must be pushed.
The red test probe is a unique design.
Rather chubby, it has a safety ring halfway
down the probe body. Housed in the probe
-amp fast -blow fuse for
body are two fuses
protection against ordinary overloads and, at
the very tip, a special 2 -amp, 1000 -volt fuse to
protect against catastrophic arcing. To change
fuses, just unscrew the tip of the probe and
they pop out into your hand.
The model 3300 is small, really hand -sized.
And because it weighs only 10 ounces, it's easy
to manipulate. You can hold the case and the
negative probe in one hand, leaving the other
hand free for doing the work. You can also tie
a loop in the negative test lead and hang the
meter up so that both hands are free; the lock
on the test -lead plug holds it easily.

A new CMOS smoke detector IC, an A/D converter for
8080 microprocessors, frequency synthesizers and a touch switch matrix

KARL SAVON, SEMICONDUCTOR EDITOR.
SMOKE DETECTORS ARE BECOMING A VERY
horn output pin. There are an even number of signal inversions from the input pin
to the transistor gate. A positive input
swing, therefore, produces a positive
change on the gate of the transistor to
turn it on.
The MD4301 has a number of versatile
options: Either a DC or an AC output
signal can be generated. An additional
signal path starting at the oscillator and
continuing through gates G3 and G4 and
into gate G5. Gate G5 selectively adds
the oscillator signal to the DC alarm
popular consumer item. Specialized integrated circuits that improve their performance and reliability are being released
by the IC manufacturers. One of these
devices, the MD4301 CMOS alarm circuit, has been developed by Mitel, a
Canadian semiconductor company that
specializes in CMOS and I2L integrated
circuits.
The main circuit elements of the Mitel
IC are shown in the block diagram of Fig.

ator that switches when the input voltage

on pin 2 rises 150 mV above the voltage
on the bias input terminal (pin 3). The
input threshold or trigger point can be
adjusted by connecting a potentiometer
between the internal voltage reference on
pin I and the reference input on pin 3.
The circuit's main function is to trigger
an audible alarm through the horn output
terminal when the circuit itself is triggered. Trace the signal path through gate
GI, inverter 12, gates G2 and G5, inverter 14 and N- channel transistor Q1 to the
signal. The combined AC and DC output

signal is used to drive a horn. To select
the horn mode, pin 9 is grounded. In this
mode, gate G4 passes the oscillator signal
to gate G5. For a DC alarm output, pin 9
is switched to a logic high level so that
gate G4 blocks the oscillator signal, leaving only the DC path through gate G5.
Audio tone inverter I5 is tied directly to
gate G3's output, so that audio output
triggered by A appears on pin 10.
An LED output is provided for localizing the alarm in a system that uses more
1
than one MD4301. A signal path from

sense amplifier Al feeds the indicator
latch circuit, which remains on even after
the alarm input condition is cleared. The
output transistor that lights an external
LED is rated for a 300-mA collector
current. The latch -reset input terminal
(pin 5) must be switched to a logic high
level to clear the indicator latch and turn
off the LED.
Besides adding an extra component, a
constantly illuminated pilot light would
be a heavy battery drain. The LED
output is designed to give a unique pow er-on indication. Power-on signals originate from a counter that is clocked by a
two -phase signal from the audio oscillator. The counter is a polynomial counter
constructed with shift register stages and
EXCLUSIVE OR gates. The division ratio of
this counter can be altered by a factor
mask option. The standard version sends
out one 50 -ms pulse -perminute.
The polynomial-counter output pulse
feeds inverter 13, and the inverted pulse
connects to gate G7 where it combines
with the indicator output. This short
once -perminute visual blip indicates that
the circuit has power and is functional.
There is no need for a test pushbutton or
pilot lamp.
The path from the polynomial counter
through inverter I3 has a different purpose. Even though power -on indication
has been provided, a reliable design
should also warn of impending battery
failure. When the 9 -volt battery supply
drops to between 7.5 and 8.0 volts, the
low- battery sense circuit turns on gate
G6. Battery -voltage falloff triggers the
audio and horn outputs at the once-perminute rate. The distinctive pulsed audio
output signal cannot be mistaken for the
sustained alarm condition. The low -battery condition triggers the alarm via gates
G6 and G2. As an aid to understanding
the circuit functions, Gate G2 was drawn
as an OR gate with inverted inputs rather
than as a schematically simpler but equivalent NAND gate. Gate 2 sums the signals
from the battery-sense circuit and the
sense amplifier and passes either of the
abnormal conditions. If gate G2 had been
drawn as a NAND gate, its function would
be less obvious and would erroneously
suggest that both inputs must be high to
produce an output.
The output of gate G6 does not combine with the output of the indicator
latch, so the LED is not affected by a low battery condition. Gate G2 feeds the
audio and horn output circuits and both

are affected by the low- battery sense
circuitry.
The trigger input terminal is used to
form a multiple MD430I system by cascoding the trigger output of one MD4301
through the trigger input of the next.
Figure 2 shows the cascoded arrangement, where any alarm -sense condition

A/D conversion
To feed digital data into a microprocessor from an external source of parallel
binary data, the data is applied to the data
bus and a read operation is performed. On
the other hand, if the input is an analog
signal, an A/D converter must be used.
Precision Monolithics (in Application
Note AN-22) shows a system approach to
digitizing analog inputs using an 8080
microprocessor, a DAC -08E digital -toanalog converter and a CMP -01C comparator. Figure 3 shows the block diagram.
The successive approximation method
is used, in which the binary output is
determined beginning with the most significant bit and finishing with the least
significant bit. The first step in the
approximation process is to determine if
the voltage being measured is in the top
or bottom half of the converter range and
the most significant bit of the output data
is either set or reset, respectively. Then,
each successive step in the process narrows down the input voltage to one -half
of the last selected range and sets or
resets the appropriate bit.

to test the first bit. At step MOV L, A

(transfer accumulator to L), the test word
in the accumulator is sent out onto the
address lines. Next, MOV A,M (transfer
memory addressed by H,L to the accumulator) reads the comparator output and
places it in the accumulator.
System control circuit IC2 reads the
comparator output through 105, and
places it on the data bus as DO. All other
data bits are unused and are 0. The
program tests the accumulato,r with the
ANA A instruction (the 8080 does not
automatically set the flags on a read operation). If the comparator output is 0, the
value measured is less than the digitized
value and the program jumps to TOOHI.
If the test result is positive, the bit
corresponding to the test bit is set by
adding the test bit with register c and
storing the updated result back in register
C. The test bit is shifted to the right in
preparation for the next test. Starting
with 8016, register B proceeds through 40,
20, 10, 08, 04, 02 and 01, each value
containing a single binary I in the test -bit
position. When the last shift is made, the
bit from 01 is shifted into the carry flag.
The carry test at the end of the program
detects this condition. A set carry bit
signals the end of the conversion and the

program reaches the END instruction or
else branches back to TEST to determine
the next least significant bit.

MOS frequency synthesizers
The new 40- channel CB regulations
are largely responsible for the current
popularity of the synthesizer. Actually,
synthesizers have been used for quite a
while in commercial communication and
navigation equipment. The integrated circuit has added significantly to their appeal.
Siemen's S187 MOS synthesizer tunes
receivers up to 800 MHz with the help of
a prescaler. An eight -stage divider follows the crystal oscillator that operates at
a maximum frequency of 6.5 MHz. The
outputs of the divider's four lowest stages
are selected by a multiplexer and then
divided by either 8 or 10, for a selection
of 16 reference frequencies for the phase
comparator.
The receiver's external VCO ( VoltageControlled Oscillator) is scaled by a
divide -by -10 and divide -by 10/11 pre scaler that feeds PROM -controlled synchronous dividers that drive the other
phase-comparator input.
The S187 synthesizer generates up to
500,000 channels. The PROM can be
controlled from a matrix of switches for
pushbutton channel selection. Write

cut TVI
The Citizens Radio Section of the Electronic Industry Association has proposed
to the FCC that new standards be adopted
to eliminate much of the annoying TVI
caused by CB signals. Specifically, it was
recommended that CB harmonic emissions
be kept 75-dB below the present 4 -watt
power limit.
Harmonics, although nonessential in CB
communications, have a way of interfering
with some TV channels. If a CB set is properly adjusted and operated, the chances
are its signals won't interfere with TV
reception. However, occasional interference does occur in high- density areas. The
proposed EIA standards would cover such
contingencies. Inexpensive filters can be
used to relieve exceptional cases of TVI.
EIA spokesmen have also asked that firm
action be taken against illegal power ampli-
fiers, known as "linears," in order to significantly reduce the TVI experienced from CB
sets. The FCC has proposed action in this
area.
Other causes of poor TV reception have

How tuned horizontal output circuits work and how to troubleshoot them. JACK DARR, SERVICE EDITOR
IN ORDER TO FIX THE FAULTS ELECTRONIC
technicians find, you have to understand

the failure mechanism, not only what
happened but why.
Technical writers also must first understand a product or problem thoroughly,
so that readers can understand what's
being described. For instance, there's one

circuit I haven't written anything about
until now simply because I didn't understand it. I knew what it was doing, but I
couldn't find out what was causing the
problem.
I am referring to the horizontal- output
circuit, used in a great many solid -state
color TV sets. This is the circuit with the
famous four -legged capacitors across the
horizontal- output transistor. Whenever
these capacitors go bad, the high voltage
rises to tremendous levels and creates all
kinds of weird damage. The suggested
remedy is to "replace the capacitor!"
(This reminds me of a juke -box service
manual I read once, in which, for a
certain problem, the recommended cure
was a curt "find cause and repair! ")
All things come to him who waits,
however, and I finally found an explanation in the Admiral manual, Circuit Description and Troubleshooting for their
series M45 units. The manual contains a
highly detailed and crystal -clear explanation of just exactly how this type of
circuit works.
Figure shows the horizontal -sweep
circuit of the model M45 chassis. As in
most conventional designs, the transistor
drives the flyback transformer and yoke.
The current pulse is stepped up to create
the high voltage. Everything is normal so
far; however, Admiral continues by explaining that this circuit is designed on a
"dual- frequency" concept. The scan portion of the horizontal sweep is rated at
roughly 10 kHz. The retrace portion (flyback pulse) is 40 kHz. These two frequencies have no real relation to the
15.75 -kHz line frequency, except that
each frequency goes through exactly one
half-cycle during each period of the scan
line. As long as the total time period of
these two half-cycles adds up to the standard 63.5-us scan time, everything is all
right. The key frequency is the 40 -kHz
retrace, and the half-cycle concept must
be kept in mind.
Therefore, in this circuit, there are two

resonant circuits -the 10 -kHz scan and

the 40-kHz retrace. The actual scan is
similar to that in tube-type TV sets: the
horizontal yoke winding is fully charged,
and the beam is on the left side of the
screen. The damper diode conducts due
to the polarity of the voltage developed by
the collapse of the magnetic field in the
yoke. This voltage sweeps the beam to the
center of the screen. At this point, the
yoke is discharged and the horizontal output transistor turns on and recharges
it, sweeping the beam the rest of the way
across. (It's the familiar concept of
"damper sweeps left half, output sweeps
right half. ") Because of the time, this
action takes a total of 52 s, which is
equivalent to one half -cycle at about 10
kHz.
Now the fun begins. During scan, the
damper diode and the horizontal-output
transistor, which are connected from ter-
minal No. 19 of the flyback transformer

to ground in parallel, act as "switches."
First one is on, then the other. The first of
the two resonant circuits comprises the
yoke winding and its 0.47 -uF series capacitor, C813. The few turns on the
flyback transformer and a small winding
on the pincushion transformer play a
minor role due to their size. The yoke and
capacitor form a series -resonant circuit
at about 10 kHz for maximum efficiency.
Note that in the retrace period, the
.0082 -F capacitor is connected from terminal No. 19 on the flyback transformer
to ground. During scan, either the damper diode or output transistor are on,
thereby shorting this capacitor. (At the
center of the sweep, both the damper
diode and output transistor are open, but
there is no energy in the yoke.) At the
end of the scan, the output transistor is
quickly turned off by the rapid falltime of

its base drive pulse, as shown by waveform No. 3 in Fig. 1. The yoke is fully
charged and the instant the drive is
removed, the magnetic field collapses.
With both switches off the tuning
capacitor is now in- circuit. A sudden
burst of energy is pumped into the second
resonant circuit that consists of the yoke
and the tuning capacitor. Yoke capacitor
C813 has a very low impedance. Therefore, it is charged and serves only as a
source of electrons. This resonant circuit
is tuned to 40 kHz. If a pulse is sent into
the circuit, it rings. The circuit then
develops a high -voltage pulse because it is
of very short duration -the current
changes much more rapidly, causing a
rise in the voltage.
When this high -voltage pulse reaches
its peak, the current stops increasing and
falls. These two changes develop a current in the yoke that moves the beam all
the way back to the left side of the screen,
and also recharges the yoke winding. This
is a 40 -kHz one half-cycle of energy and
it takes place in about 12 s. Adding this
and the 52 -s scan time results in the
necessary 63.5 -s total time for a scan
line. (Don't argue with me about the
missing half-s; I said "about," which
should take care of it!)
High voltage increase
Now, to get down to the nitty-gritty
about why the high voltage rises if something happens to capacitor C813. Figure
I shows that during scan, capacitor C813
is shorted -out by one of the two switches;
therefore, an open capacitor would not
affect the scan at all. However, with the
capacitor open, during retrace all that
energy that was pumped into the yoke is
being pumped into a resonant circuit.
Now, because there are only the yoke
inductance and its own distributed capacitance, the resonant frequency goes way
up. Instead of only one half-cycle, several
develop during the same 12 -s period.
Since these half -cycles are all shorter in
duration than the correct frequency, what
happens? Each half-cycle has a much
faster risetime than it should. As a result,
the flyback transformer tries to develop a
much greater pulse, since the voltage
developed by the changing current is
proportional to the rate of current
change. Since the yoke series capacitor is
still in- circuit, each pulse charges the
series capacitor. The pulses will still be
positive -going pulses, since the damper
diode will cut off the negative -going
halves.
This excessive pulse height will make
the high -voltage winding develop tremendous high-voltage values. Field engineers
have reported rises of up to 60,000 volts.
(The reading might have been higher, but
60,000 volts was the limit of their
meters!) It is important to note that this
increase in frequency is not related to the

horizontal -drive frequency, which stays

the same; the change is entirely in the
"retrace frequency."
This rise in retrace frequency seems to
be due, in the vast majority of cases, to an
open tuning capacitor. If the horizontal
yoke winding opens, it is not able to store
faster
service
enough energy to develop the high pulse;

the same thing applies to the larger series
capacitor. This usually kills the horizontal sweep, leaving a thin, bright vertical
line. The high voltage does not usually
rise except for a small amount due to the
reduced beam current needed to scan
only one bright line.
It is necessary to use specially designed
reliable capacitors that can handle high
RF current. This leads to what should be
an unnecessary warning -never replace
these capacitors with an ordinary capacitor. The ones used here seem to be
polypropylene or polycarbonate dielectric
with high voltage ratings. However, the
best substitute is always the set -maker's
suggested replacement type.
The Admiral manual describes one

more important, the pulse width' must be

TUNABLE HUM BAR
Here's a curio for you. This Sylvania

DO -5 chassis had what looked like a
bright, single hum bar that tended to
break up along with a static -like noise in
the sound. This effect was most distinct
on UHF and high VHF. Below Channel
11, it wasn't evident.
I checked for heater -cathode shorts in

tubes; nothing. I let them heat up to see if

this was a hot short. While tapping tubes
and watching the picture, I noticed that
the UHF pilot light was flickering like a
Christmas -tree blinker lamp, right along
with the blinking hum bar! The pilot
lights are NE -2H neon lamps, each with a
30K dropping resistor.
New pilot light, no hum bar! I'm sending you this lamp for your collection.
(Thanks very much to A. C. O'Neal,
San Diego, CA, for this curiosity.)
SCOPE CALIBRATION OFF
I'm working over an Eico 460 scope that
I picked up. I get a very funny waveform in
the CALIBRATE position! Instead of a 60Hz sinewave, it looks like this (see diagram). I've checked all the tubes, no help.
Please advise. -L.M., Coraopolis, PA
It looks as if there's something wrong
in the sweep. It doesn't start until it
reaches that point, then suddenly jumps

up to normal amplitude. This means
there's an unbalance somewhere. Check
all of the resistors in the vertical and horizontal sweep and output stages. Some of
them may have gone way off. This is a
common problem in the older scopes.
(Feedback: "Bingo! I remembered that
the person I got the scope from said that
he'd built it. Evidently he was color blind!
He interchanged RIO (grid peaking resistor, vertical input stage -Ed.), which
should be 220K for R36 (plate supply
resistor for push -pull vertical output
stage -Ed.), which should be 22K. I
swapped 'em back, and it works. ")
VOLUME OUT OF CONTROL
I have a peculiar problem with an RCA
VCR -243 AM/FM stereo. When the set has
warmed up, the volume starts to go up
slowly, and the volume control won't cut
it down. This is intermittent and can

happen any time after it's warmed up.

The volume control has been replaced.
Everything else is normal. What causes
this?-W.F., Marysville, KS
The crystal ball says your ground is not
grounded, on the bottom of the volume
control! Like all stock volume-control circuits, this one is actually an "audio signal
voltage divider." The slider varies the
amplitude of the signal fed to the audio
input. To reduce this level, it must go to a
point equal to zero signal
good ground
level. If the ground is imperfect, there
will still be too much audio getting
through. I suggest you run a jumper from
a known ground over to the volume
-a
control's bottom terminal.

I had a case like this not long ago. It
turned out that the bottom of the volume
control wasn't "DC- grounded", but it
certainly was for audio. A 20 -uf electrolytic bypass capacitor from the bottom of
the control to ground was open.
In either case, you can verify this quite
easily by simply scoping the bottom terminal of the control. This should show
absolutely no signal at any time.
FAULTY ROTATOR
I ran into a Channel-Master 9524C rotator that won't rotate. I don't have any data
on this, and not much experience with
rotators. Do you know how to test
these?-K.S., Bellingham, WA
Check the cable up to the rotor for
continuity and correct resistance. If this
is OK, then see if you get 20 volts AC at
each of the secondary windings of the
transformer. If you do, and the motor
hums but won't run, the phasing capacitor C is probably open.
Capacitor C is a 110 -120 of nonpolarized electrolytic; either a Sprague AM510 or equivalent. Note that each half of
the motor can be switched so that the
capacitor is in series with it, while the
other one goes directly to the transformer. This gives you the phase shift needed
to make the motor start and run.
PICTURE /COLOR PROBLEMS
I have an unstable picture in a Zenith
19EC45. It falls out of horizontal sync and
also rolls vertically. At the same time, the
color goes bad. It goes out of sync, or
shifts in hue. Can you help? -C.S., Vergennes, IL
All these troubles can probably be
fixed at once. Just get the horizontal sync
problem fixed up. Try running a horizon-
tal- oscillator setup, and check the AFC

diodes. These are separate in this chassis;
try replacing both of them at once.
If your horizontal oscillator is unstable,
this causes keying -pulse instability, which
can upset not only the vertical sync, but
the automatic gain control, color and
everything else.
Note: Check the 330 -ohm resistor in
the emitter of the sawtooth shaper on the
9 -90 board; if it's risen in value this has
caused problems.
(Feedback: "Got it! ")
FAULTY SWITCH CAUSES TV
TROUBLES
I've a batch of problems in this Sears
528.427- 11012! It was serviced; worked for
24 hours; then blooie. I found six tubes
shorted. I replaced them. The set now
had vertical, sound, RF, but very little
horizontal. I found a 30KD6 in the horizontal output. This should be a 40KD6.
Now there's lots of color, plenty of sweep,
but no RF or audio! Now what?-J.R.,
Newark, OH
(I wrote him suggesting checking for
video, since he seemed to have color but
no black -and -white picture, etc. Later, he
answered:)
I checked all the things you suggested;
no dice. The problem turned out to be
strange but simple. It was the on -off
switch! This set uses a triple switch,
which is supposed to turn on the heaters
and the B +; two of the switches were
shorted. I was getting only about half the
B+ voltage plus other things. I replaced
the switch with a factory duplicate, and
now it works.

The series gets its title from the fact that there
are 21 or 1024 questions and answers in the two
volumes. These two volumes are written in easy to- follow question- and -answer format to help the
average reader with little or no computer knowledge not only to operate his own computer but
become more knowledgeable generally in both
home computing and programming. The material
is presented in the form of a dialogue, in clear

BIKE SPEEDOMETER
Figure 5 shows you how the LED's are installed. The 100 ohm resistors should be connected to the anode, and the 1000 ohm resistors to the LED cathodes. Wire them close together
and trim the leads short since they will extend into the utility
box used as the case. Otherwise, you can mount the resistors
parallel to and against the back surface of the faceplate. In this
case, cut a large hole in the front surface of the metal box so as
to clear the resistors when the faceplate is installed.
Whether to mount the resistors parallel to or at right angles to
the faceplate is up to you. Your choice, however, may be
dictated by the amount of space available once the PC board is
mounted inside the box. The limiting factor is the size of
adjusting potentiometer R24. I used a 15 -turn, 3/4 -inch -long
Bourns Trimpot and cemented it to the component side of the
board. When the PC board is in place in the case, the adjusting
screw comes close to the back of the case.
The case has two sections. Use the part with the lips on the
front and end surfaces to mount all electrical components. Start
by locating and drilling the four mounting holes for the faceplate and PC board. Use a full -size foil pattern of Fig. 4 to locate
the mounting holes. Next, cut a rectangular hole in the front of
the box to clear the resistors when the faceplate is mounted.
Drill the mounting holes for the two switches and two jacks.
Place the switches on one end and the jacks on the other end.
The holes are 3/4 -inch from the back of the box and approximately -inch apart. The important thing is to position the holes
so that the switches and jacks do not touch the PC board.
Use special care when mounting the jacks. They must be
insulated from the chassis because its outer housing or shell is
connected to the positive side of the battery. Use shoulder -type
insulating washers or, as I did, mount J2 on a small piece of
plastic and cement the plastic behind an oversized hole. Do not

SHERLOCK HOLMES
MODEL 101 AUDIO TEST SYSTEM consists of two sine/
square/triangle function generators, pulse generator, frequency counter and AC voltmeter. As a system it will generate a frequency response plot on an X-Y recorder or scope.
Time base generator offers symmetrical or independent
control of the positive and negative sides of the ramp
providing a duty cycle of 1% to 99 %. Frequency range
is .002 Hz to 100k Hz. Amplitude is 16 Vpp into 500 ohms
with 5 VDC offset. The time base output drives the X axis
of an X -Y recorder. Manual mode provided for setup.
Audio sweep generator provides manual frequency adjustment or log or linear sweep of 20 Hz to 20k Hz. Blanking
mode provides zero reference line on an X-Y recorder or
tone burst. Amplitude is 16 Vpp into 500 ohms or 10 Vpp
into 8 ohms.
Pulse generator frequency range is .002 Hz to 800k Hz.
Pulse width is adjusted independent of frequency from 4
seconds to 40 nanoseconds. Outputs are complementary
TTL.

still one little problem."
"What sort of problem ?"
"There is no number on this transistor.

"Come, come, Watson. No need to

assorted transistors in that box. Certainly
one, or perhaps any one of them will
do."
"But which one, Holmes? How shall I
select the proper one ?"
"I suspect it is quite elementary, but let
me check my latest monograph on transistor substitution." Holmes went to the
mantel and rummaged through a stack of
papers. He mumbled to himself:
"I really must get these published one
day . . Ah, here is what I was looking
for." Holmes read silently for a while.

Holmes said:
"Yes Watson, I knew the answer was

Watson took the tattered piece of paper
and read it. He then did a surprising
thing. He put his hand over his eyes,

reached into the box and, as in a lottery

drawing, selected a transistor. Without a
word, he soldered the "lottery" transistor
into the circuit and turned it on. The
"New Unknown Amplifier" worked, and
with amazing clarity.
"By jove Holmes, you have done it
again!"
Watson had made my statement for
me. I was flabbergasted. Upon reading
the page that had seemingly caused Watson's strange lottery drawing, I read the
following:
"If the voltage drop across R is greater than 1, and Rb2 is less than 10 times the
value of the emitter resistor, almost any
transistor will serve adequately as a replacement. That is, if:
volt
ERee is greater than
1
and
= to 10 (but not greater

than 10) times R, (on ohms),
transistor substitution should be easy. If
the voltage drop across the emitter resistor is greater than 2 and Rb2 is equal to
it will be difficult to find a transistor
(assuming it is not defective) that will not
work as a replacement."
It seems that perhaps Watson was
more certain of Holmes' theories than
Holmes himself. However, my subsequent laboratory investigations lead me to
believe that Doctor Watson was right and
Holmes a little conservative in a practical
situation. From my numerous laboratory
experiments, I can wholeheartedly recommend Holmes' methods for use if you
are ever confronted with these two problems.
In his monograph, Holmes also mentioned that a substitute transistor should
have a maximum collector voltage rating
at least that of the value of Vcc, a beta
figure of 100 or greater in the replacement device (50 for a power transistor)
and the calculated collector current
should not be greater than 40% of the
replacement's maximum rated collector
current.
Meanwhile, Holmes and I returned to
our discussion of the crystal expectorant
container case, and had been at it for
nearly an hour when Doctor Watson
broke in:
"I say, Holmes, isn't your monograph a
little incomplete? I find here several
circuits to which your method does not
seem to apply!"
"Perhaps, Watson, but it applies to all
circuits of its class, and, as for the others,
I have also written some insignificant
monographs. I will go into more detail
later about those. At the moment, I do
have a guest and we are both deeply
involved in the case of the silver saliva
stopper. Later, doctor, later!"

Wheel- switch assembly

Next, cement the reed switch to a 3/4 X 2 -inch piece of
plastic. Recess the switch in a shallow groove made with a small
round file. Use Elmer's clear adhesive intended for glass and
china or epoxy cement to anchor the switch to the plastic. Look
through the glass envelope and note the two flat metal strips that
make up the switch. These strips must lie parallel to the surface
of the plastic when the switch is cemented in the groove. Solder
a piece of No. 24, 2- conductor speaker cable about 20- inches
long to the two leads of the reed switch. Connect the other end
of this cable to plug PL2.
Testing the speedometer

Charge the battery and plug it into J1. Plug reed switch S3
into J2. Turn on the power and see if any of the LED's light up.
If they do, then depress the TEST switch and hold it for at least 5
seconds. The 5- second delay insures that the signal pulses from
IC6 are counted for at least one fixed time period.
At this point, connect a temporary jumper across the S1
terminals. This leaves both your hands free to hold the speedometer while you adjust potentiometer R24. Adjust R24 until the
LED display reads the diameter of the bike's front wheel.
When you are satisfied that the display is stable, remove the
jumper lead and observe the LED display. The LED's should go
dark after about 3 seconds. Next, check the operation of reed
switch S3 by bringing a magnet close to it -the "0" LED
should light up. Simulate wheel movement by moving the
magnet rapidly back and forth, opening and closing switch S3.
The number displayed will change, but don't expect a display of
"10" or more. Your hand isn't fast enough.
If the speedometer passes this test, assemble the case and
fasten the halves together with sheet metal screws. Unplug the
battery and wheel switch. Use epoxy cement to mount each of
the two magnets on a piece of 3/4 X 2 -inch plastic. Mount the
magnets temporarily on the front -wheel metal rim of the bike
between the spokes. The magnets should be diametrically opposite each other so that as the wheel turns, one magnet activates
the reed switch every one -half revolution.
Now, place the reed switch on the inside of the fork in a

dering variety of voltages: 3, 4.5, 6, 7.5, 9,

etc. You probably also own several AC
adapters, each with a different output.
Have you ever plugged in the wrong one?
(Well, I hope it was a lower voltage rather
than a higher voltage, or, at least, that you
burned out only a $3 AM radio!)
I find both the battery and the adapter
problems particularly annoying. Usually
frustration and annoyance lead to
changes; mine did and so can yours.
I use external batteries, especially on
seldom -used gear. In fact, several recently constructed projects don't even have
compartments for internal batteries.
First, to avoid using the wrong voltages, devise a connector plan. There are
many shapes and sizes of jacks and plugs.
Select one for 3 volts, another for 4.5
volts, one for 5 volts, and so on. It doesn't
matter which you choose for any given
voltage; just be consistent.
Next, change the plugs on each of your
AC adapters to match their voltages to
your connectors. Make adapters that you
can use with your bench power supplies.
The next step is to make up battery
packs. I use regular battery holders of
various sizes; each one has leads and the
appropriate plug attached.
The final step is to modify your battery- operated equipment. The power jack
of those devices having one must be
changed to the proper type to fit your
scheme. Add appropriate jacks to those
devices lacking them by simply wiring
them to the internal batteries.
Now you are in business. When you get
ready to use a piece of gear, just plug in a
bench supply, AC adapter or a battery
pack. The system is quick and convenient
and you have to work at it to apply the
wrong voltage. (Your devices can still be
used in the normal way when you want
the compactness and convenience of internal batteries.)
As for batteries, they are easily replaced. There are not a large number
sitting around expiring of old age; and if
they should leak, it won't happen inside
your good equipment!
(Please remember that we want this to
be your column as much as possible. Send

you are working on, and, especially, send

COUPLING IS THE KEY TO BETTER PERFORMANCE...
we started with another Avanti antenna

the Astro Plane (patented)
as a radiator,
then added a reflector and a director to
achieve the co- inductive beam configuration.
The Astro Plane has more gain to begin
with than a dipole which is commonly
used as the radiator of a beam and it couples
to the director and the reflector more
Forward gain of 11 db over an isotropic source

is a means of rating the antenna's ability to
increase, receive, and transmit signals. The
point here is that the ASTRO BEAM has about
1
db more than the best 3 element beam
currently on the market. This gain has the
equivalent of multiplying your power about
12.5 times.

an unprecedented 40 db front -to -back ratio.
A 40 db+ rejection means that if a signal
